This is what I think support is...

Not being told I “should” this or that

As so many irl have tried to tell me.....

Also I do not find invalidation of my truth in the slightest bit helpful...

The FOO (family of origin) are malignant narcissists and pathological liars.

I am not... when I speak, I speak my truth.

(Not about anyone here)

Support...

Load me down with enough "shoulds", and eventually I break.

I love this, Fuzzybear! Thank you for sharing. That is what I am searching for in my life and I try very hard to offer that quiet empathy to others. Your friendly bears made me smile on a lonely day.
