JD,

I was moved to tears reading your account of what happened between you and your brother. I'm glad that the two of you were able to connect, especially in midst of such a difficult situation. I'm sorry that your father has chosen to behave the way that he is. I know it can feel like your fault, but his actions are HIS and about him. They aren't about you. Please keep reaching out, stay safe and keep up the hard work that you are doing.

(((hugs))) and Merry Christmas!

((Jane)) Hugs your way.

Hi Janedoe,

Trying to read through this thread and catch up. Don't have time to really reply now and haven't finished the thread but I am so sorry you are having a hard time right now and just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you tonight. If i get a chance to log on later, I will finish reading the thread and if not, I'll read it in the morning.

Again, so sorry you have to go through this.

Hugs to you, Jane. ((((Jane))))

I'm sorry for everything you are going through. For what it's worth, I didn't read this as you doing anything wrong or to sabotage anything. It sounds like it was really hard for you to have that contact with family and it was really triggering for you. That is all understandable. You don't deserve to be treated this way by family and I'm sorry that interactions with them continue to be painful.

Liese, kashley, STRM ~ thank you so much. it helped me to just get this out. it's been a rouh night and i' m sad about my family. your support and kindness helps a lot. thank you.
