Brilliant thinking there, barn. I never thought of it that way!! It's like a three-act play. In my situation, the first act would be a tragedy, the second act would be a mystery (is she going to figure out how to become well?) and third act a triumphant love story with myself.
Still working on that third act.....LOL
Jety, these are really important steps you're taking. Trying to make sense of your family members' behaviors and judgments is like bashing your head against a wall. The wall is fine, but you end up hurt and bruised. What would it feel like to decide they're not worthy of this attention & importance you're giving them, and stop talking to them about it?
