Your family really should support and be there for you when you feel down @teamtennantgirl, I would try to talk to them, be as open and honest as you can Katherine, pour your heart and emotions out, everyone deserves loving relatives, you do too Katherine, remember the Blah community will always be here for you too and so will I, smile and know you will overcome Katherine, go forward with confidence and never give up, inbox me anytime if you want to chat or vent, stay strong, you are never alone (hugs)

@teamtennantgirl it’s okay to want to vent and have someone to listen and help you so don’t feel bad about that at all. Confront your family head on about how you feel. Be respectful but stern. Hopefully it turns our well but if not, don’t get too stuck on their opinion. If you ever want to talk, feel free to message me.

It’s a hard and lonely road sometimes. It won’t always be that way, though it is hard to think of that today. If family can’t handle your stuff, that is hard, but keep looking for a confidante, even online. Find a way to let your emotions release – beat up a cardboard box, verbally abuse someone in an online chat group, focus on a hobby that takes you away (mine is woodworking). No easy answer, just persistence and time. You can do this, even if your brain says you can’t. We have all been there in one form or another, some worse off, others not so much. Carry on. Let the echoes of your footsteps lead you on.
