Maybell, Just wanted to respond to the stuff about your parents. Personally, I've spent a lot of my IC hours trying to work out my complicated R with my parents.
Is it possible that your family is acting out of love and 'defending your honor' in a way? I know, if that's true, you'd think that they would be able to respect your wishes about the whole thing. But people and feelings are funny in their irrationality.
As helpless and out of control we feel, our parents are hurting, too, on our behalf. It must be hard to see us go through this, be treated this way by a person they 'gave us away' to (i don't mean that literally, but I hope that makes sense).
We cannot control anyone but ourselves, but we can set some boundaries. You can state your wishes to your mom, but you cannot control what she does. You can, however, hide her posts from view. You can also choose to let anyone who sees her post think whatever the heck they want to read. Maybe they are reading a lot about your sitch into that post, and just as likely, maybe they are not. Who knows.
What are you doing to take care of yourself this week, dear Maybell?
