So glad to have found this site. I am now estranged from my family and in-laws – everyone is toxic. It took decades for me to finally realise. Unfortunately, friends have given up on me, as they can’t ‘deal’ with my situation. So it’s just me dealing with it all. No one to discuss anything with. Or even give me a hug when I need it. I am not long from retirement. I am very scared about the future. But I need to get out. I started a 12-month plan last month. Getting everything in order to escape. Thank you for reading. xx
