"Don't let 'family' be the reason you're drowning in silence. I did - for over 20 years plus. And it almost cost me everything. But now l know better - love doesn't manipulate, loyalty doesn't betray, and family does not steal from you AFamily that steals and breaks you isn't family at all."

"Real family doesn't drain you, shame you, discriminate against you, or ignore your pain. My sanity matters. My mental health is a priority. IF IT COSTS MY MENTAL HEALTH, THEN IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE."
