" my dear friend, how could you possibly be a disappointment? you said you have a restraining order against your abuser which means you must have reported what happened to you. do you know how strong that makes you?! you're like superwoman!!!
i know that certain things cause way more stress than others, like grades, but you can work on that. throw yourself into your work, use it to distract yourself if you can.

how important is it to you that your boyfriend's family like you? i don't know the situation, but if they don't like you then that is their problem. they obviously don't know what a special person they have in their lives.

take it one day at a time hun, we're all here for you. you are brave and strong and wonderful. nothing that happened to you was your fault and you are absolutely going to be okay. i know the time and the waiting are so very hard sometimes, but that's why we're all here, to listen and vent and support each other.

send me a message any time you need to, you are not alone.

" im sorry things are hard right now. I know it hurts when people dont like you but you have to try not to let it bother you. everyone has people they dont get along with. You should either not see them or have minimal contact. I hope your bf is standing up for you and not allowing his family to insult you without defending you.
Your parents should realise youve had a really traumatic experience and that it is hard for a person to get good grades when they have personal issues.
I can imagine it would be really stressful for you worrying about your abuser if there is no restraining order. Being scared constantly is no way to live. You can either try to make yourself feel safe by always being around people or perhaps as a last option move away somewhere if he will live in the same area.
Are you in therapy? If not you should consider it as your therapist may have better advice.
Your healing and sense of safety is a priority, its hard to function in life without these.
Im always thinking I need to do things in life but I know that unless I address my issues and healing I wont be able to do much.
take care "

" I don't see why your boyfriend's family hates you-perhaps they have issues themselves?

As for the restraining order maybe just to make yourself feel better you can reapply for it.

As for school well since I told about the abuse that occurred to me well I've months of school that were bad and months of school that were good-hopefully with time the good months I have will greatly outweigh the bad months I have.

Try not to use the computer so much-and keep the non-homework stuff for when u have everything else done and try to use a timer. I know it's hard as I suffer with it myself.

As for organized fun stuff like sports, drama club, etc what are u enrolled in? Sometimes stuff like that can help us to forgot our past better and find ourselves more-it also helps keep us healthy and more resistant to the stuff that we do to make ourselves feel better but isn't really best for us in the long-run.
