@silentheart00 Sorry to hear you had such a tough time growing up… I think it’s a good step to find a therapist to help you work through some stuff, and hopefully they can help you develop the tools to handle your emotions, as well as help you with being able to talk to your SO’s family about what’s going on with you.
I hope you’ve told your SO what’s going on? So you’ve got at least one person to talk about it, someone to trust. Expressing yourself with art and music is a great way to deal with emotions, but if the emotions run too high you’ll need someone to talk to, besides a therapist of course. Plus it might be real hard for him/her to see you going through a tough time as well as the tension it causes at home, without knowing what’s going on.
I’m rooting for you to find a way to deal with all this and hopefully you’ll get to a better place soon. And whenever you’re feeling down you can always tell us guys over here for some moral support!
Best of luck you Silent, I hope you find your way.
