I think people here are worried about you because things are so chaotic for you. Sometimes it seems like you just want validation for how you feel and sometimes it seems you want feedback on how others would handle things. And if someone would do things differently than you would, you may feel invalidated and unfairly judged.

In the end, all that matters is that your choices are yours. You have to live with your choices. What anyone else thinks or does is irrelevant. There is no greater feeling than finding happiness for yourself. I hope your choices bring you to your happiness.
Thank you for saying this.

And I understand what you are saying. I am looking for validation, because I don't get any at home or in therapy. I'm not exactly looking for advice in this thread, unless I specifically state I need some on an issue I face. Support is what I need - just support and understanding of where I am at.
