advice needed
i (f25) recently went no contact with my parents as they are severe narcissists. how do you deal with the guilt and shame that follows? i feel so guilty for hurting them this way, but my support system has been consistently telling me that it was the right decision.
i have them blocked, but i also am feeling an intense paranoia that they might try to find me in person, or seek me out in other ways. how do you deal with that paranoia? it’s the thing that is making me most anxious right now. they don’t live super close to me, but could reasonably take a ~5-6 hour drive to see me. i realize that sounds a little farfetched that they might appear but it’s something i am massively paranoid about, and i won’t be able to move for about a month or so
