Anxiety can tell you lies. You did the right thing to overcome it and go for your goals. New things can be stressful, this is completely normal. The trick is not to never be nervous, but to overcome it. It will become less with each class as you gain confidence in your achievements. Yay you!
So sorry. I have a parent that went full extreme right wing conspiracy nutter during covid and has never come back. We don’t talk anymore, after much trying on my part and none on theirs. I have no advice other than look after your own mental health, because you probably can’t do anything about theirs. They have 100% certainty in their righteousness. I hope your situation is not as bad though. It’s rough, because it’s like loosing a parent. Actually, it is loosing a parent. You’ll grieve and wonder why. But you’ll feel better in time if you prioritise yourself. Took me too long to learn that.
