Thank you so much for the validation, yes my life is really wonderful! It's amazing how little you hear that when you have a dysfunctional family. According to them, my life is in ruins
I don't think my parents would be happy until I just moved in with them and waited on them hand and foot. I'm learning how to stand up to my family, and while it sucks to get the backlash, it feels so good to put the burden back onto them. Give them back the crap they gave to me, and that I've been carrying around for all these years. I've been handling the abandonment, distancing, and isolation much better, thanks to Alanon. It helps me set boundaries that I didn't have the strength to do before. I'm also able to allow my parents to deal with their own issues themselves, and let my higher power help them with that. I don't need to get involved with that directly. Thanks again for the helpful feedback, it made my day
