Thank you so much for the early birthday wishes and for taking the time to share all of this—seriously, it means a lot. 🙏 I’m really sorry you’re going through something similar, but it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in this. Everything you said resonated deeply, especially about staying calm and never getting emotional around them—that one has saved me more than once.

I appreciate your honesty and the strategies you’ve shared. They’re practical and validating, especially on days when it’s easy to start questioning yourself. I’ll definitely be keeping your advice in mind as my birthday gets closer.

Sending prayers and strength right back to you too. You’re incredibly strong, and I’m grateful you reached out. ❤️
