Sweetie, so much of what you fear revolves around Hanna and Hannas actions. Two things that stand out are number 6 and number 18. I believe those are the two things most important to work on right now. All the rest are very important, but if you can deal with those two and learn about enabling and letting go, all the rest will fall into place. I will be praying for you sweetie. Hugs
