almeda, what a session. Wow. I'm still processing it too and I wasn't even involved!
I'm glad you felt such a deep connection with your T. It can be so validating when your T finally gets to see the others from your family and sees clearly the truth of what you have been telling him. I felt that way when I brought my husband for couples therapy with me to see my T. Suddenly, he "got it" even more than he had before.

she, my dad and brother have been siding with my husband over me all these years. I knew this part but didn't know that my husband has been filling their heads that I am such a problem and he's the victim. They've all been going behind my back talking about me.

I'm so sorry. (((((hugs))))) That must feel like such a betrayal. Why would your husband do that? In what way would it help anything?

Mom said later tonight that they all thought I was made of steal emotionally and they couldn't control me so they tried to break me.

What a lovely family, almedafan. I'm so sorry.

My mom thinks she learned a lot and expressed that she wants to 'reverse the damage' as she put it. She never supported me but now she will. I hope so!

You are an amazing woman if you can ever trust her.

((((almedafan)))) It sounds like that day is a long, long way off. By then, you may be more ready to be on your own than you can imagine right now. You have come so far and there is more growth ahead.
