The only reason I mentioned that Maynard is because you need to be around people who will advise and support you. People who will help you rebuild yourself and whack you over the head when you step out of line.

With that said I firmly believe that you put some boundaries up with your folks too. And you need to understand that they too are hurt. A normal human reaction is to stay away from the source of the hurt (think hot stove plate).

You've started getting a life and that's good. Now you need to completely distance yourself from disruptive forces e.g. SIL, MIL, WAW etc. Your path is to get yourself healthy, strong and confident again. Anything that deviates you from that path should be avoided.
