Adore~ I can VERY much relate. I have done what my dad wants me to do my whole life. I am very recently in recovery (as of this week!) and all I can focus on right now is my well-being. I'm in my last semester in college with 20 credits, and student teaching right now---and Im thinking I might have to put graduation aside-- for my sanity--and recovery. If I do this--my dad is going to disown me! He has paid for my entire tuition and he is really gonna flip out--to say the least!!
It is so hard to take critcism from the people who made you carry this guilt around your whole life....Im trying to think, so what! who cares what he says....we all know this is easier said than done.
Much love & support!
In recovery,
Steph
