Dear Nichole:

I think you’ve been functioning well and I am impressed that following two weeks of high anxiety you are still sensible, coming up with the sensible idea of renting an Airbnb.

I am also sorry to read that indeed living with your aunt is not a good idea. I wish it was, but it is not. If I was  in your place, I wouldn’t be able to endure her behavior, texting you throughout the day, for crying out loud. I would need an aunt that will let me be, leave me alone to breathe.

Living with your father is a bad idea, and living with your aunt is not a better idea. So now, better live elsewhere, a third option. I wouldn’t put any effort in trying to communicate better with your aunt but get out of there as soon as possible.

I will soon be away from the computer for the next fifteen hours or so. I hope  to read from you when I am back.

Keep persevering, don’t give up and don’t give in and life will get better.
