Hi EP. Good to see you are still going. I haven't followed your journal but I would trust the guys who posted above mentioning that you are making progress, sometimes it's hardest to see for yourself that you are moving forward.
Do you exercise? Going out for a run have always helped me.
I'm sorry to hear about your lack of support from your parents. That can suck. I have had limited emotional support from mine, even though I have a dad that I know cares deeply for me.
Do you read books? Reading have been a comfort for me in tough times. There are some good books out there. I read a book on co-dependence that gave me some insights in my own behavior - it's called "codependent no more", and she has also written another one called "the language of letting go". Maybe you could lend them at your library.
And you should be givning yourself a pat on the back. There is a radical shift you are doing right now that you are living through and experiencing. Not everyone has the courage to look at their life and seeing that “this doesn’t work” and realizing that the problem is within themselves, and doing something about it.
