But also it was nearly 2 years ago that I was diagnosed with MS then a year later fibro, and since that time this ACOA stuff has hammered me because as a child I had quite bad health so it has triggered a ton of memories (around rejection) for me.

Some days it feels like I am getting 'forced' to love myself or at least learn too, since my day to day health really depends on it now - some times I am grateful for this and then other days I'm not.

I'm glad for you that you have a wise sponsor.
