No, I think the way you're handling your family situation shows great introspect and self-care, tbh.
Also, I'm sorry it's been tough on you over the years, so I want to send you a hug. I appreciated reading your post.  |
Thank you. I'm sorry you had to deal with that too. Yeah unfortunately family can actually be the worst enemies. Not sure why but I would speculate it's because, in theory, you're supposed to trust them the most and have their back and vise versa 100% of the time, which is not always true. It's not the case for everyone, but in my experience, talking to a close friend or anyone outside my family, even on this site, is better than talking to my actual family.
