Thank you so much for this response! Yes, I’m a people pleaser. I want people happy and I don’t want to have ever hurt anybody. I’m getting better with setting boundaries because I’ve seen how people will take advantage of this – leaving me hurt. Our parents let us raise ourselves really. But gave us a lot of love. Yes, I have insecurities too. And they are getting worse because I’m allowing myself to think that if people are bad to me, it’s because I’m a bad person. Instead of KNOWING it is them and their issues. At this point, there won’t be any family therapy because the family is split – nobody wants to work on it aside from me (and now I have given up too because the step-sis has confirmed she doesn’t care). It is up to me now to move forward and refocus my energy to the positive. However, still, the letting go thing is not working for me and I am trying so hard. I am also working on not letting people get me down and just being myself and following my own path.
