I am out of Family Politics. Nothing is more important than my mental health 

Minal Sharma

You know Arun can never become like one of those husbands who forget their families. 

That is great! I wish this too.

Are you not coming to the party Bua has kept? You must be there... It's your duty.

My duty is for the job I work for... Arun is also not coming and everyone respects his work. Mine needs to be respected too.

 

They have a lot of money. She gave so much to the wedding... She doesn't even work... Her taking care of the house is what is making her husband flourish 

(Normally I knew this was an attack on me, and I would have reacted but this time) Ya amazing... It's great to have personal choices... She chooses not to work as some others choose to!

 

Arun should spend his birthday with his family...

Sure, I thought I was family too...

This was me... Really not being hurt, emotionally choked because of family politics...

Ever since I got married, everyone here wanted me to be constantly feeling less, constantly feeling threatened and unimportant for my husband or unneeded or less for everyone else... Earlier when it started happening, it used to make me feel like I have no life left.. I felt angry, insulted, isolated, discriminated and I felt a constant need for others to understand me, to stop treating me this way, to change...

And in this pursuit, I damaged my mental health... My work took a back seat... I felt less worthy... I started comparing myself to everyone else... I felt ashamed of being me... I felt sidelined... And I felt very choked, unhappy... 

I started therapy at IWill and here my therapist helped me step by step come out of the trap of playing to someone's hands, of being part of family politics, of measuring my self-worth falsely on things that didn't matter and would always be stacked against me...

She helped me accept things as is and not want to change anyone, she helped me get my act together, she made me really realize what was important in life. It was my mental health... It was my peace... I needed to focus on my career and my relationship with ARUN too didn't have to be affected due to all this gaslighting... 

IWill Therapy helped me prioritize myself and assert and give it back to people when they attacked me and have space for myself...

I didn't have anything to prove to anyone. I DIDN'T HAVE TO PLEASE ANYONE AT MY COST... 

People who were insecure, happy to see me disintegrated are surprised as to HOW I REMAIN SO HAPPY, SO UNAFFECTED, SO SECURE... They don't realize I am out of their petty family politics... I don't need to gain their approval for anything!
