Something to think about....one line & back to your "Drama".
You get the maximum benefit out of this site by following (& really thinking about) other poster's situations. Almost all of them have similarites to yours, to believe otherwise is misunderstanding our purpose here.
Much effort & empathy goes into responding to other people & their attempts at bettering their situations & themselves. By extending yourself, it tells them you have taken the time & energy to learn some of the skills from theirs & will perhaps add them to yours.
Drama, IMO, is best left out of interactions w/S's, it only serves to escalate & poison.
I apologize for coming off as blunt. We have all been in the same place @ one time or another, you can bet on that.
