Hi all I got home from work and the usual "wild west" started with my mom again having a go at me and how I have this attitude etc... but... this time she actually said things would be better if I found alternative accommodation. WOW! I have done so much for them and sacrificed... but... this didn't come as a surprise. I almost knew this was coming... I feel relieved because it isn't a secret that she is the root of most of my depression and she is the reason I have to hide and suppress being gay - even though I came out and everything ages ago. I am excited about the new adventure that awaits... it's almost like when I was preparing to go overseas which I may do again and go teach abroad. Onwards and upwards and free. (I know it sounds terrible and it's family etc... but toxic is toxic no matter who... Thanks for reading. Just felt like posting... lol LW79
Reading your post and reflecting on this prior exchange we had, I share your view: "Wow!". This is the exact release that you need! Now it's time to take action and start to live your own life your own way! There is nothing holding you back, it's all in your control. Very exciting.....
I wish I could say it improved but it hasn't and I am back in the dark space that has become my familiar home. I admire those who get to love and live authentically... anyway... Take care.
