I live (paying rent, around a quarter of the total rent) with my stepmother. Dad passed away five years ago and at the end of the month my stepmom is getting married. I am really, really happy for her. He is such a sweetheart, we get along most of the time, and things seem ideal. We might not be the most traditional family, but we’re a loving one.

So WHY is my anxiety telling me they are secretly planning to get rid of me after the wedding? I’m disabled, have no support network in this state except the two of them and would probably end up dead if forced out.

But they would never do that! Ever. I just can’t shut up this nasty little voice.
