Very powerful words Linkmeister...that was what did it for me...the bizarre conversations, the drunk-and-dials, the chaos, the suicide threats...my older sister stays over some nights...she is my rock. She told me several times, (she recently ended a seven year relationship with her A/BP fiancee) that she has seen me cry..."you are NOT a crier". She commented that whenever she stayed with me, it never failed...as soon as I hung up the phone with him, I was either crying, mad, or asking "what phase/personality is he on NOW?"
My brother-in-law said "About damn time girl."
He then said "when did you decide to become Christ on Earth?" and "Who said you HAVE to be perfect and take crap from people?"
Wow.
I'm not perfect...my XASO, as well as XAH, and even my college sweetheart (he had OCD...boy can I pick em!) all expected me to be whatever their ideal woman is...I can't, I ain't, and...who is??
