NYEH. NYEHHHH.

Sometimes I wonder why my family has such a knack for reinforcing my self-esteem issues.

My life feels like a one-step-forward-two-steps-back proposition most of the time.

I've been there. I think I'm still there, maybe!

Sorry to hear that your family's being less than helpful. You'd think it'd be obvious that making people feel shitty about themselves isn't the world's biggest motivator, but I know too many people whose relatives seem to miss (or ignore) that fact. Anyway, here's hoping things look up for you!

And then sometimes, things get put rather forcibly into perspective! We've mostly learned to live with each other at this point, but yeah, they do have a history of (unwittingly?) making me feel shitty about myself in the name of 'motivation'. At least I seem to get over the shittiness a lot faster than I used to, so, that's progress maybe.

Thanks for your kind words, and I'm sure both of us will figure out how to live the lives we want eventually. (:
