My heart breaks for you, Deb. These family members are not worth it. Not worth giving up on your precious life.

Please pull away from them. If a quick break seems too difficult, do it gradually. Do it as a gift to yourself.

You have value and worth. You are lovable. One of the hardest things for victims to do is to love themselves, but it can be done.

I was at a low point around 10 years ago. And decided to write down things about myself that were worthwhile. I could only think of one thing - that some people thought I had a nice smile.

So I kept thinking about this. And added to the list every now and then. Over time, the list grew. My belief in myself grew. My depression started to lift. And the effects of this effort have stayed with me all these years.

Wishing you peace and joy in your future.
love, WB
