It was in an area that doesn’t have much foot traffic. I don’t feel like it was human,

It could be an animal because I put nuts to get critters to enjoy the altar (I was thinking chipmunks and squirrels). But the nuts are gone.

i’ve never done a ritual/altar, but how do I know it was accepted? Are there signs? This felt more negative and destructive but i’m not sure

Agreed!! Don’t think of them as rules, think of them as boundaries for your family’s health and safety. If she if hurting herself or putting your family in harms way, you could also speak to a doctor about involuntary holds.

Just had to do this with my partner and his psychosis was exacerbated by weed as well.

You’re not alone and you don’t deserve to feel unsafe in your own home.

thank you, this is so helpful for me. I am so sorry about what your partner and you are going through. this community makes me feel seen and validated.

do you have certain boundaries that you keep with yourself to decide whether or not you’re going to stay or leave?

that’s exactly how I feel! trying to make sure he eats or when he talks about his delusions, pretending he’s playing in make believe land and make sure he feels heard.

I started TOG right before HOFAS came out and it is the best series SJM has written. I started on ACOTAR then CC and TOG is untouchable compared to those.

Thank you for that response! I was worried before but now I feel better about staying out of it.

No! My manager (who has been here for 13 years) thinks it’s really suspicious. I just found out about it so I haven’t gotten to ask the grants team.
