it reminds me of when my parents found out I was getting counseling when I turned 18. they sat me down, addressed the fact that I was in counseling and then said "its nothing we did, is it?"

it sure would be nice to get support from our loved ones in times like this but since they are typically the source of our conflict it cant be expected. I cut myself off from my family and that was the beginning of my healing. I surround myself with positive supportive people today and am doing well with that.

Glad to hear you are high functioning. that will take you far.
