I understand you completely. I’ve learned that any interaction with my family has an extremely adverse effect on my life. They’re ultra competitive so they do what they can to sabotage your success in any field. It’s so sick and destructive and I just don’t have time for at. At this point, I’ve given up on any hope that they might come around and have a positive effect on my life. I’m glad that you’ve found your own path to happiness. You deserve it!
