Good Afternoon! It is a few days after Christmas. Let me tell you about my holiday. You will then have appreciation for your own. I was driving around by myself on Christmas Eve....carrying a letter to give my family that set some boundaries. I had taken verbal abuse from a step-parent for several years now. I had four meltdowns in four days the weekend before Christmas. I could not take it any longer. Only I could change the situation from my perspective and by changing my actions.
I taped the letter to their front door. It said to my biological parent that if they wanted a relationship with me they would have to contact me. Since they have never learned email, and don't carry their cell phone with them...they have refused the 2 main methods that I primarily use to communicate. So, I did not hear from them on Christmas Day or since they received the letter. I guess a relationship with me on my terms is not something they wish to do. They wish me to keep coming over to their homestead and taking the abuse, and turning their heads the other way.
After all, I'm the one with the mental illness. It's all my fault....right?
