I'm not sure what would be most helpful to hear right now, but please know I send good thoughts.

I hope you were able to grieve together. In my opinion, you can absolutely appreciate a person without being related to them.
Plus, we often don't get a say in when we deal with trauma. It just rears its head at the most inconvenient times and demands to be acknowledged.
I am sorry you had to go through all that.

Have you got any idea why your family treated/treats you like that? Is there some kind of backstory with your grandparents?

"Brides minions" is a great term! :D
And Jonathan sounds like a great partner for Allison. I wish I had that or her understanding family. Wow.

I hope you'll find a good place to live that feels safe (and is well-maintained).
And I hope that Evelyn will find a good way to implement self-care and accept your boundaries as well as set their own.
