Lydia, I saw a psychiatrist once at my university clinic because I dropped by and needed to talk to someone and he was the only one available. I started telling him all my complaints about everyone and he told me one of the most valuable things that have ever been told to me. It hurt at the time, but it was a turning point for me and I needed to hear it. He told me that everyone else can't be the problem, that is impossible. He told me that I was the problem. I left his office thinking he was the worst but it sunk in later and he was right. This was a turning point for me and I began to look at myself and what was going on with ME.

I sense that you are "fighting for your life" with these people?

I hope you take my comments in the spirit that I offered them.
