I will NOT allow another person to control my life...and I will continue to move forward.
I finally love myself enough to do this.
Bravo, this sounds like the beginning of a wonderful recovery. You get to choose your friends and you get to detach from any family that is judgmental or controlling. It's all your choice to make.
I know you are on the right path, you know why? Because recovery means being able to stand in your own truth...even when you stand alone.
From a mama who has been there and done that, big hugs from my heart to yours.
