It started.
I have gone no contact now with my entire family of origin as they took part in the bullying operation, which is a very good thing, but I know I will never really be okay.
The worst part is, no one involved will tell me why I was bullied for three years to begin with.

Baby yourself as much as you can.

(10,195 posts)Must have seemed so unfair, the timing of her death. Not that death is ever fair, but sometimes that loss is extra cruel.
We are down to one car at the worst possible time, so I have to drive my husband to and from and then to my radiation appointment and its getting kind of tiring.
He is going to try to work from home as much as possible next week and my final week to make it easier on me, and Im grateful for that.

(2,067 posts)our families can be so cruel. I know.
It has nothing to do with you, most likely, and has everything to do with them. I remember a therapist many years ago that gave me that great gift.
We all love you here. You're a soul sister to me.

(10,195 posts)Yeah, I grew up with abuse and sometimes they like to try to continue the abuse even when you try to get away.
My husband is 100% supportive of me going no contact because hes seen how I get mistreated and he thinks my family members are nutcases essentially.
So, yeah, its more them than me but things like this are always painful just the same.

You are so much more than they are. You do not deserve to have to deal with them. You made the right choice. Your real family, the one you have because they love and care about you, want you to get on with your life without crap like that trying to drag you down.
