*gentle hugs*
I think you are an admirably strong woman Katie and you should be proud of yourself for taking these steps forwards and recognising what is best for your recovery. I think Becca is right RE reading the other forum. I'm not sure how you learn to trust yourself but I do believe that you should trust yourself on this one as you seem to have thought about it logically and decided this is the best decision for yourself and it's good you're making boundaries.
*sits with you*
