Re: anon/anon
[...] You're definitely right on me needing to be able to stand on my own. I will say, in his defense, he's absolutely got a right to say I'm not allowed to talk to him. I just need to quit falling into the trap of doing it. Which I don't think he's doing on purpose. I won't say he's emotionally abusive. I think he's been through a lot, and he thinks I am, and it's making me feel crazy. That's not his fault, but it's also not something I need to force myself to deal with. Like I said, everybody's better off if we don't talk. [...] Any particular reason, or are they just not great friends?
He did. I think he did about as much for me as I could have hoped for. It's a big change, and one I'm still getting used to. [...] But you don't feel what they feel, or anything like that. It's not traumatic for you.
