Very sad today. I have been in therapy for what seems like a hundred years and find that as I learn and have grown my relationships keep changing. My siblings have not had therapy, but need it. So I find myself falling 'victim' to their manipulative games, and as I thought today about how one sibling that I have had fairly good contact with over the years is 'playing' me and decided I won't 'play' anymore I felt hurt, sad, and lonely. Fortunately all I did was let myself feel the grief and cry a little, but in the end decided that I have learned I can go on and live the life of freedom my therapy is affording me. It's still sad though, that the healthier I get, the more distance there is between me and the only family I have ever known. I'm just sad, and wondering if anyone else is having this experience.
