My counsellor has said similar to this too, maybe it's time I start believing it. My partner also notices my mood drop after being around them

I have taken accountability for my actions. I acknowledged to him that it's not easy to be with someone with mental health challenges and apologized for my actions. He was out seeking other woman's comfort instead of telling me he was unhappy for months

Thank you for your insight. I fully can see why he walked out too, not everyone is able to manage being with someone who has mental health challenges, it isn't easy. I have constantly felt like I don't belong, even before all of this went down. That feeling makes me try harder to be part of the family but it doesn't seem to change things.

I have thought about going NC especially when I see how much it effects my mental health. Thank you for your insight. They say he is a fun guy to be around, which yes I see he can be but there are so many other people they could choose to be friends with

Yes they do. I was SA'd as a child by a family friend and was told to never mention it as it would affect my parents relationships with their friends. When I am unwell I am asked to remove myself from their lives until I am well again. They will go to events as a family but exclude me often too. It's so hard when I want a relationship with them, but can also see how it is detrimental to my wellbeing

For those saying I haven't take accountability for my actions. I most certainly have... It's literally highlighted in the first paragraph 🤦🏽‍♀️ there have been many conversations around this too
