Lisa Marie, I'm so sorry. I can also empathize with everything you expressed.
Unless someone has been through something similar, they don't understand that Wegs is often like trying to hang on during a hurricane. No one prepares us to do that! If a hurricane hits, you grab onto whatever solid thing you can for as long as you need it. For an outsider to say or imply that you're doing it wrong means they've never been in such a storm. (Or they didn't learn empathy if they had)
Few people in the world know how to be gentle and kind towards themselves. That harshness winds up being projected onto others. It's about them, not you. You're a tough cookie, and you are doing great.
