Hi, I’ve recently fell out of a strange situation being accused of having done something bad out of revenge when it was a breakdown. I’m also trying to come to terms with family dynamics and past relationships I’ve been in. I’ve been wanting to medically transition since my teens but was worried how I would be treated so I kept going in and out of the closet.
I’m hoping my time here will help me find healthy emotional support as I have no friends to turn to and am not comfortable making close friends for awhile. In therapy but am feeling unsure and scared.
@blueOrange7790 Family dynamics can be especially deep cuts, as the whole family has been working in a paradigm and cannot see outside that. Even for me, a straight women just trying to set boundaries. You are right to find reinforcements here, to shore up your position and fulfill yourself. They may be the ones creating a toxic environment but they will likely view you as the one creating trouble. Stand your ground.

Thank you for words of encouragement and resilience ❤️ Best wishes to you, that all is well and people treat you with kindness

Hi. I joined 7 cups last week after having a particularly difficult moment with a very important person in my life and realized that I needed to deal with some things I have left unattended to for a while. I needed someone to talk to and found that person here. I'm 50, married, have 2 grown daughters ages 20 and 24. I live in Minnesota but am originally from Ohio. I work in the IT field as a software systems analyst. I'm here to be supportive and also partake of the support of this community as I learn to have self-compassion and learn to cope with some deep insecurities stemming from years of intense bullying in elementary and middle school.
@minbuckeye
