Dearheart ~ if seeing your family makes you miserable, then DON'T DO IT. Why do something that actually makes you sick?? Some families are actually toxic. And sometimes we have to limit our time with them to perhaps once or twice a YEAR. There is NO REASON to put ourselves thru that kind of torture!!

Each member of your family seems to doubt you are sick at ALL. They're calling you names, like "drama queen," and your mother says that you CHOSE to be this way!! Why on earth would anyone CHOSE to be like this??? It's torture! That isn't a logical statement! And then there's your sister who seems to like embarrassing you. These are TOXIC people.

Limit time with them. Don't worry about not seeing them, or them not returning calls, etc. because they only make you sicker! Stay AWAY from them, my friend. You WILL feel much better once you accept the fact that they only make you SICK.

God bless you Thomi, and I wish you the very best. Please keep posting here, okay? Hugs, Lee
