Fuzzy, I don't know what you're going through and who you are dealing with. I just know that I've let a lot of abusive/unhealthy people in my life, and when I started surrounding myself with health people (no easy task) I began to see the world a lot differently. There are just so many unhealthy people out there, perpetrating the same abuse they experienced at one point, and not even aware they are doing it, it's very hard to take sometimes. Very challenging to interact with people - and doubly so for family and friends we've known forever when we realize they are unhealthy and relationships with them are unhealthy for us.
