I was happy to read the conclusion: you are moving forward....

Julie, your heart is so big and you have cared for others for so long - you are so in tune with how they will receive your changes, if they like it or not, and how it will impact them.

But -- are you not hanging out with yourself equally if not most of the time? You deserve your changes - because you would be happier, you would love and welcome those changes - you would see a ripple effect within your own heart.

I think contrary to what it may seem...you being happier, means you will have more patience and strength to deal with the dysfunction - because you are no longer burdened by your own lack of contentment.

I get it -- when we know there is a better path, we want those we love to come along -- we want them to experience it too. It has to be very hard and I applaud and note your loving generosity that has cared for all those around you.

Thanks for writing - thanks for sharing with us. Here's to a continuous path of healing forward dear Julie...😘

YOU are worth it.
