For what it's worth, I don't think that any of the advice that Angela has given on this form is damaging. It may be difficult to follow through and it might result in some unpleasantries in the short term, but her stance of taking full responsibility and creating the life you love for yourself is sound. It works for her, it works for me, it works for NotesMaeve, Rose and a whole bunch of other people here.

I'm sorry and sad to read that you are in so much pain and it pains me even more that -in my eyes at least- you are acting as the catalyst for it and as of now appear to be unable to realize and change that. I really hope you'll soon find your way to the happy life you deserve.

Fingers crossed!
