@mguspixi25- Hello. It's nice to meet you. Emotional baggage might be a great topic.

I agree, I don't want to be in an emotional prison either. At first, it's hard to escape this. It's comfortable because you are emotionally with your husband, even if the emotions are horrible.

What was done to you was very unkind. They were taking their disbelief and anger out on you. As you know, with your history, heart attacks can be tough to stop. Their reactions most likely fueled your guilt. Like you needed more help, right?

Yes I agree.
It took me some years to get over how awful people were, but it’s a pretty common approach here in Au (I’m not native ‘Aussie’ and my cultural approach is very different - one of empathy and understanding for loss).
Mouths which are full of poison must spit it out, hand to stay out of spitting distance is the optimal means of handling them.
