“Unfortunately, not everyone I want to have in my life is going to approve of me having opinions or a voice, and certainly not boundaries that keep me safe and healthy. Some of them would rather see me remain sick, stuck, and suffering than healthy, happy, and whole.” And unfortunately that is what will happen when you start recovering. It’s essential to join groups and connect with those who are in the same place as you and those who get it. But you are doing amazing and I’m proud of you as you are putting in so much work to reinvent yourself.

Thank you so much! I hope to have a good amount of momentum when it's time to start writing about the hard parts.
I have no doubt you will and only do so when you are ready
