I know- I guess that is why we have this group? So we can help each other

through. It isn't easy- outsiders even close friends do not condone going

NC with your own parents and family, but come on what are we supposed to do?

I go back and forth with it and think just suck it up- go back to your

" place " in the family. That is your place, too bad you didn't chose it, but

it is your destiny. I should love and honor my parents no matter what.

Then I think- no no no. Go and find your own friends Dad- we already had so

much time t/g. I gave you so much attention, I tried to give you what you

want, I needed you so much and it got to a point where you didn't even have

the answers anymore. So here I am out here on my own. Just get your own

life!

So yes, I feel like I should at least write back or give him a little

attention b/c he isn't mean spirited it is just his nature. But then I am

like no b/c it is so toxic to me at a level I don't even realize. For the

first time in forever I got up today and said hey what do I want to do with

the rest of my life? It took me 1.5 hours to think what I might like to do

tomorrow instead of my stupid job in corporate America. That means I don't

know myself- that voice inside is scared it doesn't know how to answer.

That is frightening!

So going forward NC will help that voice get stronger b/c there will be less

noise keeping it quiet. That is why NC and blocking toxic ppl is

important. I love learning this. It is SO hard.

Thanks for writing back!
