She (the therapist) is right ... "That's not the problem.".

The problem is the living situation.

Until you can get away from all that, no amount of therapy or medication will be of any use.

Change your playground, change your friends often applies to family too, and as difficult as it is to kick toxic family members to the curb, sometimes it's exactly what we have to do to ensure our own physical and emotional safety.

I wish you the best in facing the tough decisions that lay ahead, and in making the right choices to ensure your health and well-being in the process.

If you need help in finding a safe place to live, speak with your therapist and/or a local domestic violence shelter for more information and options.
