I'm so sorry

You have family here, LiberalLoner.

But seeing skin changes already and having some fatigue and dizziness/nausea.

I was there to help you at this time. My mil, who passed in 1992, 2 weeks before my first child was born, had that therapy.

Baby yourself as much as you can.

Must have seemed so unfair, the timing of her death. Not that death is ever fair, but sometimes that loss is extra cruel.

We are down to one car at the worst possible time, so I have to drive my husband to and from and then to my radiation appointment and it’s getting kind of tiring.

He is going to try to work from home as much as possible next week and my final week to make it easier on me, and I’m grateful for that.

that he'll work from home a bit. I'll email you tomorrow.

our families can be so cruel. I know.

It has nothing to do with you, most likely, and has everything to do with them. I remember a therapist many years ago that gave me that great gift.

We all love you here. You're a soul sister to me.

Yeah, I grew up with abuse and sometimes they like to try to continue the abuse even when you try to get away.

My husband is 100% supportive of me going no contact because he’s seen how I get mistreated and he thinks my family members are nutcases essentially.

So, yeah, it’s more them than me but things like this are always painful just the same.

Fuck'em.

You are so much more than they are. You do not deserve to have to deal with them. You made the right choice. Your real family, the one you have because they love and care about you, want you to get on with your life without crap like that trying to drag you down.

I will go forward with my new life, free of cancer, free of family bullies, thank you! I feel very supported here. 😍
