I am learning to live my life without my uncle, my grandmother, and my grandfather. No, it’s not because they have passed away; they are still alive. I am surviving and benefiting from my anxiety with them because I can’t be okay with them anymore. I can’t see any possibility of being happy with them anymore. My survival is important; it doesn’t mean I can blindly depend on them.
