The pressure to please everyone has me paralyzed.
Currently, I’m living with my ex in my home. I’d like to live alone, but I feel responsible for his security. When I think about telling him I want to live separately, I feel like I’m letting him down. If I move, my family then has opinions on where I should live so I will stay in proximity to them. Also, we share dogs and I’m afraid if we split up the pack, I’m letting the dogs down.
You have a right to do what makes you happy. If there’s an LGBTQ center near you, that would be the place to start. If there isn’t, get counseling wherever it’s available. If you want to quit drinking, just do it. If you are quiet about it, your family may not even notice. It may help you to think more clearly.My best friend of 20 years buys me, my son and my parents lots of thoughtful, wonderful gifts for holidays and birthdays. The problem is, it’s way too much.
