I Don't Know What To Do Next. I'm Totally Isolated...without Any Friends. On My Birthday, My Family Informed Me I Was Disowned, No Reason.

I have Fibromyalgia, and have been doing very well since Jan.,2024. I'm more positive, I started an indoor garden, I love. Eveything seemed to be going so well...my symptoms were improving as with my many other ailments. First my BFF died, then I was mugged and assaulted. I have two casts! Still I remained optimistic. Then on my birthday, instead of well wishes, I was informed I was no longer a part of the family and to not contact anyone ever again. I'm heartbroken. I have no friends, now no… read more

I am so sorry Thea that your family has nothing to do with you. My heart aches for you. I can't imagine family doing this but I know it happens. Know I am your friend and you can reach out to me at anytime!

Remember Thea it's NOT YOU! It's their problem and loss. My husband always tells me "You CAN'T WORRY about the things you CAN'T CONTROL! It will only stress your body and you will never get well. Focus on all the positive things in life you would want to accomplish and makes YOU happy. Leave the past behind and focus not on the future as we tend to do, but focus on what you will accomplish each day you wake up. Start a journal and make a list for each day of what you would like to achieve even if you don't do it all its setting goals to lifestyle change.

Hi Lori, Thanks for sharing your story with me. I'm still a bit shell shocked that my own family would disown me. However I also know it's best to not have negative,toxic people in your life. I am seeing a councellor, it's only been a few weeks. I'm afraid it's alot harder to move on from family than just toxic users. It's complicated. Especially for an over-trusting person that wears her heart on her sleeve, That's about the best description people will say about me. Anyways, time will help heal and hurtful things will fade in time. Thanks again. Talk soon? Til Later,,,,Be Well. Take Care. Thea2 😊

So hurtful, I’m sorry they treated you this way and didn’t talk to you about the reasons they’ve decided to no longer speak to you. It seems family should be our safe place, the people we can turn to for support and understanding, but it’s unfortunately more often not the case. I hope that you find your support here, with all of us. Despite the heartache, I hope that you can find some comfort and relief that they wont intentionally hurt you, if this was there intention.
