Self-esteem cards helped me when I have lived with unsupportive folks.

Idealy- leaving them all would be the answer but affording to do such a thing is probably out.

That is abuse. Making up self affirmations if you can to start. Quitting sharing with this woman sounds terrible but a total disconnect would really benifit you.

I started journaling to pretend I had a sane caring empathetic soul in my life- since I did not and it took quite a while before I did get some empathy.

As soon as you get built up self-esteem wise you will begin attracting others that are going to help you or atleast not hurt you as you are hurt now.

Don't give up though. You like me may have to listen to the beat of your own drum but it will improve slowly. Remember we are great and need no one to affirm that to us. We wear cotton in the ears to protect ourselves and we have every right to seek love acceptance and security, just because a bunch of sick people are near us dosen't mean Anything- we will remain centered and get through the storm because GUESS WHAT WE ARE WORTH IT AND THERE IS ROOM IN THE WORLD FOR US AND OUR NEEDS. WE DESERVE GOOD AND WILL GET IT.
