I have been going through a process of healing from a dysfunctional family for a couple of years. I am just reached the point where I can see that the dysfunctional life I have created just doesn't even work for me anymore. The home I live in just is almost too much to even think of living in. The family although I love them dearly is just too dark and broken. I say all of this to say that I need to somehow figure out what my next move will be to move forward. This is what I have been working for, but even though I know I'm ready I'm scared to step out of the self imposed box of safety. Why is the unknown so scary?
