Nearly 6 months is an enormous achievement.
Can you focus on THAT?
I know exactly how it feels to be doubted and disrespected by family. Don't let them see your pain, I'd say. You've probably heard the adage: "You can't change others, only yourself." I used to hate that until I figured out the rest - "If you change your thinking and behavior in a way that nourishes YOU (change), it's likely that OTHERS will behave differently towards You." I tried it, and it actually worked fairly well. Also known as "teaching others how to treat you/ setting boundaries." Please banish their negative remarks from you thinking? You are stronger than you think. You are in control.
