Grace, Love, Compassion & Faith - Huge Impact

[keep_going]

So I'm trying to protect myself from that. I'm just not sure how I can do that and be true to myself... other than to not talk to her.

Val,

I am sorry you are struggling so much. It's hard, confusing and overwhelming.

Is your main goal in all of this to be true to yourself?
If so, I think you have to start there.

What does it mean to be true to yourself?
How does that look like?

Perhaps you may have already found an answer (or the answer)...
and perhaps that is what is really at the bottom of your emotional turmoil...
That maybe that is not the answer you want?

Keep digging - you will get there.
