I don't post much under this nn except where there's a problem I need to vent. I posted in child mental health recently about DD1's violent behaviour towards me but not had a chance to respond as been down since a "friend" helpfully suggested she might be schizophrenic which is bullshit.

Anyway, have gone no contact so far with sexually suggestive/abusive F and self-obsessed Sis and B, about to go no contact with DM. I have been off work for two weeks (one due to stress related illness but told them flu and one due to AL). I am having panic attacks going back to work tomorrow as the shit that has been my life has well & truly hit me in the face. I have made excuses for my parents all my life as to why they treated me differently as my older brother died as a toddler while DM was pg with me in a tragic accident, hell I even let DSis with her crap as she was alive when it happened get away with NPD behaviour and DB as he was the next boy so obv my parents felt more protective of him but I have had enough of being treated like I'm stupid, dumb and worthless. I've had enough of my children being taught that I'm stupid, dumb and worthless which is what I believe to be the root cause of DD's behaviour (or at least picking up on my emotions due to it all and reacting to that through lack of security).

I just want to run away and dreading facing work tomorrow Sad

Sounds as though you're still in a very agitated state with panic attacks and so forth. I don't know what 'AL' is, I'm sorry. Maybe going back to work isn't a good idea in the circumstances? Would it be better if you gave yourself chance to calm down, let all of these no contact arrangements settle and found a little peace with your DD? Of course you're not stupid. However, I think you sound unwell still and you should probably talk to your GP.

Annual leave, I think, Cogito.

I agree about not going back to work yet. I don't think you're well enough to cope with that on top of everything else. It would be awful if you went back and said something to someone and ended up in trouble.

It sounds like your home background was very troubled and I'm glad you're going NC with them. It's the quickest way to recover, I think.
