Hi friends!

My family had a medical emergency and so i had to cancel today's groups. There will also be no group next week due to a planned family medical thing. I prepped for group and will upload some fun patterns once I get home. Have a great day!

First time posting here. My bioparents, my siblings, and my husband are all narcissists. No one asks about my work, and they always make me feel like me having to work is a personal inconvenience to them.

But last week, I hosted a half-day workshop on art therapy for the first time. I had 4 people show up. They really had a great time and were so sweet when saying thanks and seemed like they genuinely appreciated what I taught them, even asking for me to host another workshop again soon. The good feelings of validation didnt last long for me.

No one asked me how it went IRL, and it wasn't long after the session that I began to feel like a fraud.

I need some help through support. I need to hear some nice things that family would say to you when they are proud of you for doing a good job and doing it well.

Thank you.
