Okay, so I just passed 1 week, which is HUGE, right? I'm feeling good, but man, family stuff always manages to push those buttons. Had dinner with my parents last night and it was like a masterclass in unintentional guilt-tripping. My mom keeps saying things like "You look so much better, I'm so glad you're finally taking care of yourself." Like, I get it, she means well, but the emphasis on finally just stings. Like, was I not taking care of myself before? Or was I just not taking care of myself in a way she approved of? Ugh. It's just frustrating, you know? Like I'm doing all this hard work, and I'm really proud of myself, and then these little comments just chip away at it. It's not malicious, I know that. But it's exhausting trying to navigate their feelings about my recovery while also trying to just be in my recovery. Anyone else deal with this kinda dynamic? It's a lot. Just needed to vent a bit. 💪 Keep pushing, everyone.
