Thank you I do take things at face value, most of the time. That’s definitely healthier than the other. ..... The parental units lied about everything. Occasionally that dysfunction makes me.... feel sad and probably have some cognitive distortions.

I’m not the greatest at keeping in touch sometimes myself. My apologies if this post (my post above) upset anyone. That was not my intention

I am terrible at self care. It doesn’t get easier, it gets harder. That’s my “problem” I don’t really want to be here at all

I was “taught” that ANY self care made me Selfish and Evil.

Today is sub optimal. Tonight so far is worse,

But, I’m a survivor.
