My immediate family is just toxically dysfunctional. They don't even have any interest in trying to be decent, drama free people. All they want to be is miserable, and rope everyone into their suffering.
Interestingly enough, I wanted to be an architect too... but my family also belittled me and shot me down so I wouldn't do it. I still regret to this day caving into them because of that.
Anyway, good for you! I always love reading about people who become self empowered and make big changes in their lives for the better!  |
Hey Louie, Thanks for sharing. I used to talk with my mother frequently too, for all the right co-dependant reasons.
I feel 400 pounds light too, particularly after spending the day de-stressing yesterday. I'm thinking about moving too, that way they won't know where I live and won't be able to leave nasty notes on my doorstep like they've done in the past when I tried to cut them off. Funny that you wanted to be an architect too. That must have intimidated the heck out of them. I still regret caving on that one too. Although I've done the best I could with my life despite everything. I hope you have too! Here's a {{{{hug}}}} for you my friend.
