Any support would be very welcime @Faith-and-Hope @Teej @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Mazarita @Former-Member @Former-Member and anyone else who cares about me.

I think if I hadn’t spent 8 years talking to support people who, although they can’t reach into my situation with any magic wands, can say, “Wow .....that’s not only dysfunctional and not okay, it’s right out there”, I think I would be doubting my own judgement and giving up.
That therapist is not there for me. They are in support of someone else, and the way this is structured at the moment I am having to dig myself out from under all the layers of disguise that have our situation looking like something it’s not ..... and m3 looking like something I am not .....
I believe in the power of truth, and my truth may not be perfect or absolute, but it is concentrated, and even of few drops of it are enough, once I can be fully heard, to make the difference and turn this moon tide.
Enough about that for now Hon ..... who can you contact tomorrow to stand with you and let this family member know that they need to step back and let your recovery continue ?

Don’t you believe that it was fake @Teej ..... that is the insecurity lying to you.
You are getting it back together and it is working out ..... that was the sort of cruel blow that we have suffered around here at times .... just when you are reaching hard for something, the ladder gets knocked out from under you and you go sprawling, with someone telling you that you weren’t going to be able to reach it anyway .....
Stand that person out of your way and get back up and going again. Achieve in spite of them. You have worked hard for this, and you are going to make it count for something .... you ar on your way to making it count for something ..... just keep swimming ..... and I am swimming with you .....
Those thoughts will pass. Just keep talking with me until they do.

That’s how I have been feeling @Teej ..... but it is a feeling and not the truth.
The truth will speak for itself as you continue reconstructing .... brick by brick. Just keep putting things back in order, keep stepping up ..... you have felt it working. Don’t let a bully come and knock it all down again.
I am putting my truth out there, brick by brick ..... and it’s working.
Hold my hand and lets keep going. We’ve got this.

Yeah, and mine bully me at times too @Teej ..... they don’t have a fully adult world view yet .... think they are masters of the universe .....
That child needs to be sidelined with a red card. You are the parent, an adult, and capable of making your own decisions. Can you stay over at your girlfriend’s house to give you some space tonight ?
Would love to come and sm*ck his not for him .... !!
Grrr ....
Get back on your horse @Teej .... you haven’t made these gains for nothing, and that bratty kidult needs you in their future .....
♥️♥️♥️
