I couldn't agree more!
And again about what to do right now, how about creating a temporary mantra "i don't want to be manipulated, manipulation is not love"?
But riotgirrrl is more than right: you need to substitute old patterns with new ones and it is VERY difficult to find them out by yourself. A help is really important and could make your life easier.
I often think to myself that, if by some chance, I could get back all the money i spent on my health (both physical and psychological) I'd be a rich girl
But I am a happy 'girl' and that's where my money is.
It seems that we can do without help, but it really is not so. Especially with you saying that you are not well. Any help would do.
Just asking for help is beneficial, because it reminds us of the eternal truth that we cannot do it on our own.
You thought you could make it with your mother.
You know better now, but you do need someone to lean on
