We are done.

[Progress]

Extended family member (EFM) said they were being neutral and would keep our contact a secret and respect my privacy. EFM slipped up sometimes but I was understanding. Recently I told EFM about the extreme stalking behavior of my Ns. EFM's response was to give Ns information on me and then contact me like nothing had happened.

Yeah that's it, we're done. EFM likely only has a few years left. I felt bad not being able to visit EFM but I don't anymore. There really is a sense of closure, knowing you're done. This relationship, that never really was, is done.

I'm sorry they took such deliberate action to not respect your boundaries. I hope you're able to make an awesome FOC soon!

Thank you! My FOC is awesome but small -- not a lot of redundancy and admittedly that worries me. I can't spread out the emotional support needs as much as I would like or other things that benefit from a big network... but hey, I have some, including those who weren't RBN but understand and that's a huge victory for me, knowing that people like that are out there.

It's a shame, but it sounds like it's for the best.
