How is this thread so popular? ;p Hi Noni, How are you feeling? I wanted to reply earlier, but I was in no place to help anyone myself. If you still want to talk, I'm here. How are things? It's natural to hate hearing your parents tell you anything at some point in your life, they can't help you - they're the ones who failed to protect you in the first place. Your help lies not in answers but in questions. You'll decide for yourself what you really need/want, you'll only be able to do that once others stop telling you wtf to do. I'm nothing close to an aspiring therapist and I'm extremely subjective, so perhaps I'm not your best option - depends on what you're looking for, but I'm here, so...
