Hi usn7251979,

Sorry to hear about your difficult circumstances, but we are glad you found us. Yes to a therapist, any here have found the guidance of a good professional to be worth their weight in gold. And good for you for recognizing that need. Speaking of walking on eggshells, have you read the book Stop Walking on Eggshells? Good place to start. Are you alone in what you are experiencing... .not by a long shot. Poke around and read some of the stories others post here, you'll find that you probably could've written many of them. Share what you feel comfortable with... .one thing I learned here is the more I shared, the more I got in return. You've found the right place... .we are here to walk with you.
