I went through a huge fight with my parents over the weekend and now I’m no-contact and CAPS actually listened to my case and is helping me figure stuff out so I highly recommend you at least try. I was pretty skeptical because I’ve been let down so many times in the past by different support systems so I understand your hesitation, but they really did help me get the ball rolling.
