[quote=Anonymous]OP so sad for you..sad for all of us who are going through family issues. I have been working with a therapist to process my family mess and it has been so wonderful. I had gotten to the point where I literally couldn't breathe and thought I had every ailment in the world..it was stress. It is so hard to let go of bad family..yet strangely comforting to be part of drama if it's the only thing you know. Having kids made me break the chain--didn't want them around it and didn't want to become it. I also noticed that when I decided not to tolerate bad behavior from family..also had to let go of some friends--had a friend since I was 2 years old who just was nasty..that had to go as well. Not going to lie..takes time to process all of this and to sort of give up the dream that your family can be "normal" but now I have a peace that I have never had. It also helps that my husband is normal and so is his family--they haven't been judgemental about my family stuff..just supportive. Since you are single, you have to promise yourself that you will only date men who are honorable--and they are out there. If you even get a hint of alchohol, drug, financial abuse..done--usually the honorable guys are not the flashy ones and they get missed. Sad because now that I am with one..much better than when I dated the overgrown frat boys. Remember to learn from your past and your future will be brighter.[/quote]
