i don't know what to say, only that I've seen some of what you speak of from the side of the person with the illness and from your side too. Wherever you are is hard.

i cut ties with my brother, my only family and it was hard and horrible but there was no other option. The door's been open, but he's never even knocked. i respect his choice, though it's sad.

i am sorry you're having to deal with this. i wish for you peace and continued strength. xo

Just knowing that you understand brings me a sense of balance. You are one of the people I am proud of. You recognize your struggles and do the best you can to manage them. 

Thanks for supporting me and making a positive impact. ❤

I am sad that things got to this point and that this has happened to you. But you're 100% on point that when it is used as a crutch or a tool of manipulation, it's time to step back and remove yourself from the situation. Playing along wouldn't have benefited anyone and you have to do what is necessary to protect yourself. It has to be extremely tough for you, but you're strong and you will get through this.  Just know that there are many people that are sending you good thoughts and positive energy. 

Stay strong and take care.

Having members of this community such as you helps so much when I need a reminder of the positive and good things in my life. 

Thanks.

All I can say, I've said. But you don't need to hear more from me.

I am always willing to hear you. Reach out as and when you want or need to, Katie. 

Be patient and kind with yourself. 

You have no idea how much I appreciate your support. You are a safe place for me to seek out when I need it. A mere thank you seems inadequate, but I'll say it again anyway. 

Thank you.
