I am so glad you did that for yourself. I had all that kind of stuff in subfolders so I wasn't exposed to it all the time. I have never cleaned out my archives in 10+ years. Now, I have about 115,000 messages. I'd sign up for various newsletters and just never got around to reading most of them. It is very liberating!I get the feeling! I recently deleted my old e-mail with stuff from my abusive parents, printed what I might need as evidence sometime but it was the only place they could still reach me at. Feels so liberating to not get abusive e-mails anymore!
My stepson is OK at his grandma, my MIL seems to have a purpose in life now he's there and that does seem to do her good. My brother in law has apologised to my husband (yeah, it's amazing) after realising that this OCD thing was legit and more difficult than he expected. He now understands why my stepson can't live with us.. At least that will stop him from threatening us.
Healthwise, I am OK . Walking every day, sticking to my diet. Seeing my psychologist again tomorrow, wonder what she will think of me going on a diet! She got me here after all.
I am happy to hear your stepson is doing okay at his grandma's place. It sounds like they both are good for one another. I think it's great your BIL apologized to your H and the threats are done. What a wonderful after-effect!
I am so proud of you for sticking to your goals even amidst all the chaos happening around you. Great job!
