Relying on a single person/relationship for support is one of the most mentally unhealthy and damaging things you can do to yourself.

Until even these dinguses tell you what an asshole you are, and you get Warned for stupid things. Nothing like the only place you have telling you kill yourself.

If its a professional like a therapist then yeah, theoretically you could have a single person support system.

From the ages of maybe 5 to a few days away from 18, I went to therapy off and on. In theory, I should still be going, but I lost my insurance and moved out of state on my 18th birthday.

Now, I mainly just like... get help from my husband. I have friends I vent to, but I tell my husband basically everything.

I dont want to go into detail, but while I can talk to him about my issues, I largely try to take care of them on my own - additionally, I am looking into possibly getting medicated.
I spent three years with someone who I inadvertently dumped all my problems on and it was toxic both ways, and I really dont want to hurt anyone with my problems.

I had lots of therapists to help with the PTSD after I was abused by my classmates to the point where I was afraid to go to school and was hospitalized multiple times...

Jesus wtf, what the hell did they do to you?

Very curious about this as well.

As for myself, my main issue right now is coming to terms with psychological and emotional abuse at the hands of a mentally ill father, which I basically repressed and made excuses for due to the mental illness. I never realized how much if affected me and things were... I dunno, indistinct? for most of my adult life. Things weren't bad, but my reasons for staying in contact with him were pretty much guilt and the fact that he mostly kept himself in check. Guilt meaning... without understanding the impact of what life with him was when I was younger, severing ties just seemed... extreme and cruel. We had a falling out a few years ago and we haven't spoken in a year and a half. It opened floodgates and I can't forgive a person who can't see their own mistakes, let alone learn from them. That's just a tl;dr version. I've considered therapy, but I'm a very non-motivated and excuse-prone person, and I give up on things easily.

My stepsisters have gone through worse shit with their mother, who is even more of a piece of work, and she's become much worse lately. They are at their wits end. (My mother got remarried to their father 20 year ago). They have decided to start going to a support group for people with relatives with mental illness, which I only know from walking out to a conversation my mother and stepfather were having this morning when I was staying at their house for the weekend. They were on speaker so I listened in and added to the conversation.

I considered maybe eventually going with them at some point in the future. They live a bit away from me, but I could catch a bus to their area.

I then find out that the meetings are not in their area but in my city and in fact literally around the corner from me, like I walk to the end of my street, take a right and it's the next building. The next meeting is this tuesday and just a half hour or so after I get home from work. I can't really procrastinate/make excuses now, and having my stepsisters there too means I'm not walking into an unfamiliar situation alone, which I would be very anxious about. Unfortunately, my brother (also estranged from our father) lives near my mother/stepfather and has no way to get out here, so he can't join us, at least not now, but an odd note on timing, it's his birthday today, which was why I was visiting for the weekend in the first place.

Timing and 'small world' moments are things that fascinate me more profoundly than probably anything else in life, so considering how all of this turned out, I'm just kinda floored.

Apologies for the verbosity, but again, timing. This all is what's on my mind predominantly today and this moment, so the fact that I see this topic has compelled me to share.

Yeah, that makes sense. I've mostly dealt with things by talking to various people here, a few from ce and a few from community boards. That's helped. The avenue I'm taking mentioned in my wall of text post there is the next step. I also drink quite a lot, and that started to get problematic a few years ago, but I've never felt addicted. I've just not really been happy and that's been my outlet, but at times things have been going well, I haven't had as much interest. I tried taking the "proper" approach when I was at my worst, but full-on quitting was not something that felt a viable answer, and I just knew alcohol was not the source of my issues, but a tertiary effect. This was before the falling out with my father, so I was blind to that angle as a main source, so I'm looking to see how this support group pans out. I already feel more motivated to cut down on drinking, as this is the most cause for hope and optimism that I've had in some time.

Fucking hell, I really hope those kids got what they deserved. Did the school / teachers ever realize how broken you were? Did the therapists ever talk to the teachers?

We tried, but the principal was always the point of contact for the therapists, and her kid was one of the ones abusing me... None of the teachers believed anything I said because "I was always lying about the fights." so I was considered a pathological liar, and when we tried to take it to court, the judge was another parent of one of the kids... <_<

So basically I was on the receiving end of corrupt government early...

One thing that greatly helped my therapy was when I was getting ready to start college I decided to look up the other kids and found out that they were all dead or in prison.

People can be really shitty. It's disgusting. So you were in a minority in all white area?

It was actually the opposite...

That's interesting. We usually don't a combination of a majority, a judge, and a principal. You were super unlucky. Where was this at?

I have family and all but not anyone to talk to about that sort of stuff.
They would either not care, laugh it off because you're weak or use it against you. Not the nicest bunch in that department. I've seen them do it to each other often enough to know to keep my mouth shut.
