What happened Sasha?

Would talking it through help?

You know , that counselling would have taught you techniques to use that might help you get through this. It will not have been a waste - it's just that we are never recovered and the work is dne and finished. It is an ongoing process and sometimes dealing with life on life's terms can be challenging.

You posted here, so are obviously coping enough to remember that posting here is always a good idea. Reaching out. Now. How about checking your HALT triggers and getting those sorted first, thing back and remember what your therapist advised to do in times of stress. If you can't remember maybe some of your SR friends will share their experience, strength and hope with you and offer some suggestions to get you through tonight.

No-contact is always an option with family. Sometimes we happen to have some people we are related to who are unhealthy for us. When there is some distance and things have calmed down after whatever happened today you can think about what bounderies you want to put in place to keep you emotionally safe if you feel that your family aren't good for you.

Your work you did - that work was on YOU. You cannot change them. Their behaviour (what ever happened) was a reflection on them, and not you.

For now, deep breaths. You are alive. You are sober. You have your daughter. You are home. Everything will be fine, one way or the other.
