^This made me cry with your caring and kindness!

I’m sorry to hear your family member has a stalker. Maybe she should ‘disappear’ on social media and lay low for a while, and always be with other people. I don’t know the situation.

This man knows me from a lifetime ago, I stupidly fueled the fire, he loves/hates me and is not mentally well. He lives in another state, I think. Yes I have PTSD and issues and in a way I don’t really care what happens.

I’ve had a little break from PC for the past few months while yet another awful family drama has played out. This time is was from my son. He’s doing something he decided will somehow define him and give him much happiness, and that thing goes against and deeply offends our traditional values. We’d have accepted it, if he only handled it with an ounce of gentility, but he feels he must flaunt it and rub it in our faces, humiliating us, regardless of how we feel and have pleaded with him. So I don’t want to know him anymore. I am grieving a loss of yet another person who is not dead because they do not care about me at all, and that’s a fact. I wish it weren’t. But, painfully, I have learned over and over that it is.

I’m hopeful many others here have not had this hurtful dynamic with their loved ones. This isn’t an issue of a woman with MI who is distorting things and needs to do DBT to put things in perspective. It is real.

I hope your son is doing well and recall that he was having problems. My son, who I thought was the most wonderful, loving child turned into quite a hateful young man. I wish him health and happiness and will stay far away.

I am now on round-the-clock meds and still no P doc. I’m coping. Please forgive me for upsetting anyone here who will suggest I get professional help. Been there, done that, bought them the tee shirt, I got nothing.

Yuck, I can’t stand to hear myself talk.

You’ve been a wonderful, caring friend in our life’s issues together. Wishing you health and happiness and all the best, L.
