Re: Saw my sister today
Hi @ClockFace
You are having a rough time - I am really glad you are seeing your GP tomorrow and I hope you get to see your psychologist really soon. You need to be able to talk all your family concerns and your personal worries with a professional - it's too much for one person to carry alone.
I read your message about your family - I was at my specialist's rooms at the time and can't log in on my phone for some reason - I wanted to think about what you wrote so it was good to keep writing myself until I had dealt with the specialist and got home and had dinner - feeling very tired but otherwise okay myself.
No one can tell you what to do about your family - you know all the complex ins and outs of it all - you have reasons to stay and reasons to leave and I only know how I dealt with a toxic family by leaving and it was hard yards. I had the wherewithal to manage alone - not everyone does. Being in a toxic family environment is never easy - in your case you are part of the story and as you say - you feel obligated to stay -
I guess it's taking one day at a time - I am glad you saw your sister - I understand how angry you felt and hey - you are entitled to be angry. Anger isn't a bad emotion - it's a real emotion - it's what we do with our anger that's important.
You are an empathic person - sure - there might be some yelling and tension but that is just letting off steam.
I am for you whatever you choose - the people on FB don't know your family like you do - neither do I - still - you have the choice - and you alone can make it. Possibly knowing there are some people in the world who get it helps. I hope so.
Still sending my love and understanding
