More important than happy is being content ❤ and I certainly am 😊

I had to accept that I didn’t need my family to be happy, 😊

This video hit on a lot of good points. Another helpful video! Thanks, Mr. Wise.

This is so much my experience with my family. Eerily like current events.

This has been one of the harder parts of my recovery; to learn how to be happy “on my own” and even “for my self” completely amd utterly without them. I’m leaving them behind, so to speak. I found that I have a dearth of unmet interests within me that I’m swimming upstream to meet for the first time. It’s going against all outward edicts. Turning towards my self, the very one who was labeled as “bad” since the beginning, and therefore is experienced with some aversion. I am tasked with the re-conditioning of my conditioned self, by my self, for my self.
