Im trying to leave a friendship of 5 yrs


Recommended Posts

You are likely an empathetic person, and this is a beautiful trait to have. It's true that he likely suffers from mental illness, but this is no excuse for him to abuse you. He is responsible for his own actions. You can have understanding about his struggles and still respect your needs and rights to be treated with kindness. It's okay to do what is best for yourself. If you forgive and feel compassion, that is your heart speaking and a gift you can give to yourself. Maybe now then have compassion for yourself too. You come first.

Take care.

Who cares why he is the way he is? What seems important is that you aren't safe (to be you, at least) with him around. He may not be able to stop being the way he is, but there's no reason you have to be his victim.

My ex-wife had her share of issues, and I was trapped as long as I thought I had a chance of fixing them. She's still broken, but I don't have to be broken with her.

I don't umderstand. I can't get my emotions under control. My feelings are so hurt. I'm angry all time and fightened. Crying daily. I hate him. I'm so crippled. I miss him. And don't ever want to see him. What's wrong wirh me?? I keep telling myself. He did this. Its not my fault. He hurts me. I hv to stay away. Its not working. I can't get him outta my head. I think maybe he right. I need to die to stop my pain.

I'm here and listening. I'm so sorry for this pain and confusion. :( You've been abused and traumatized and this hurts.

Are you able to connect with your light today, Donna? Can I call you Donna? Your light shines beautifully in your art. I see it and it is a gift. You are a gift. I hope you can find some comfort. I'm sending my love and care.

ive always enjoyed watching Humming birds at my window. So I painted this one.

Yes u may finally call me by my name. Thank u for asking. I was able to find peace within me thru my art. This area isn't contaminated or piluted at all by him. See? He hadn't touched it. :-) I need more good days.

Thank u. Ur so kind. Its funny that I still remember how to paint. Its been almost 6 years. I'm not even rusty. I've looked at other paintings and drawings of mine in the past. What I'm doing now is much better. How is that? Weird isn't it? I am proud of my humming bird. Id love to paint something for you. What do u like? Pink flowers I know. What else. There are 4 of u helping me. I want to paint for each one if I may. :-)

Good for you, Donna.

It's great that you went to therapy. I cried a lot when I went to therapy too. It happens. I hope you have a supportive therapist who will help you on the path to healing. It's good you are feeling a little better tonight.

Sweet kitty painting! He's so cute, all curled up and sleeping. I love it! :) I hope you enjoyed painting him. Thanks for sharing. :-)

Its easier dealing with a broken back. I was in car accedent in my 20s fractures my l4. Few years later my disc crumbled l4 l5. Horrible pain. Nothing compairs to my head now. I want physical pain. This emotion shit sucks. AHHHGHHH!!!!!! My thoughts are irrational. How did I allow this man to take me over as much as he did. I'm hurting so bad. At least with physical pain people know. They see. Its easy to talk about it. I can't figure out what's real or what's a program. I'm pretty strong. God doesn't give us anything we can't handle. REALLY?? GOD? ARE YOU SERIOUS??? He really thinks I can do this. So ok pain and all. I'm here. Reaching out for help. Our lord knows I can do this. So I wont let satin or evil in to cast doubt. I wont except anymore pain. MAN THIS TRULY SUCKS!!!!!

Okay, I can hear you feel pain. Can you tell us more about it? {If it were physical pain, I'd be asking where does it hurt ...}

It may help you to describe what hurts because that might get you to a part of your brain that can see that you're hurt instead of just feeling it. Then maybe you'll be able to find a way to hold out a helping hand to yourself.

Simple things. Ketchup or ranch with french fries.he likes ranch. We ate them with ranch. I like ketchup. So why am I still eating them with ranch. And when I. Get the ketchup I have a hard time putting it on my plate

So I go back to ranch. I DONT EVEN LIKE RANCH. CONFUSION IS PAIN TO ME.
