Looking for Peer Support when SOS

You all have heard my story about SD26.. I am disengaged, but not in my mind and body. SS24 comes to visit in a few weeks, and I will be around him. He's a great kid, but ultimately supports his sis. MIL probably does too, but plays both sides. I will have to be around all of them, some of them quite soon and I NEED someone I can text. I do not have kids or family here to support me when in these situations. DH becomes anxious and doesn't support me well when around his spawns. Is anyone willing to be "text support" - why are there no in person/Zoom groups for this type of thing?

SD26 Hates the Boundary

Thanks to all of your support and my own sanity, I have set my boundary at "I will not discuss the past" with SD26. She tried to call back and said she wants to move forward too but not without the big "apology" I mentioned before. Also, that this "never happens again" - AFTER the big apology and blah, blah, blah - THEN she can enjoy being around me. Well, I listened to you all... she will always create drama and remind me of the past.

SD a decade of !#!*!

I am the "cool aunt" and cousin. I've always adored kids and was a popular elementary school teacher. With this sense of myself, I met DH thinking I'd get along with his kids. They were teenagers when I met them. SS24 was always kind and polite even though he would never directly look or talk to me. SD26 had problems from day one and has not stopped. DH is not the easiest and has many narcissistic traits.. life at the beginning with them was depressing and lonely for me. I stayed in the bedroom and was gone most of the day. Anyway, now, miserable and pathetic SD and I don't speak.
