Leave me alone
I don’t want to be touched. Or held.
I don’t want to be hugged.
I want to be left alone to deal with it my way.
You want to know what to do to help
I have told you what I want. So listen.
I need you to take care of everything else
So I can take care of me.
I don’t want to talk
Your feelings of rejection are your own. Not mine.
I don’t want to be smothered by your need
I need to manage this on my own.
I will cry when I am ready to
Until then I will cope my way. I will be busy.
And not think about it.
I will survive.

I was wondering how you were doing. During this tough time...make sure to take care of yourself. Breathe.... Been thinking of you!
Love to you!

I feel I have to just add that this has nothing to do with EvilTwin's decision. This is about something else entirely.

My first thought was oh great, on top of everything you are dealing with...now there is something else... Isn't life grand? Seriously, I have learned that on this bumpy,twisting,winding road we call life... in the end, our biggest challenges are the ones for which we are most grateful. We learn and grow so much by moving those boulders out of the path. However when attempting to move those boulders, we feel as if all of the strength has been sucked out of our bodies. Dear one, I wish you strength and the belief in your self to handle such challenges.

Murphy's cloud of bad luck definately moved my way. Still I suppose it's good that someone else gets a break from it...
Thank you for your supportive words & SW thanks.

I expect we could all be the person described here at some point. Sometimes it is very difficult to know how best to help someone who is hurting. The hurt continues but Thankyou for your comments never the less.

One of my friends at work was telling me about this date she went on the other night, and she wanted a man's opinion about the whole thing. I was more than happy to tell her what I thought, but I am curious what other people might think too.... read entire post
