Thanks again for all the words on encouragement. It's amazing how helpful it is to be here. He's been calling and calling. I haven't picked up. The last message was a "nice" one. He says he wants to talk. I think what he really means is he wants to convince me that how I feel isn't valid and what I think it's valid and he's a wonderful guy that treats me great. That's what most of the conversations seem to be about anymore. Better to just not pick up the phone.
"And maybe no,
he's not your dad
(I love when they use that tired old cliche)
but apparently he's enough LIKE him
to make you want him out of your movie.
To trigger a response
you haven't had to use since then."
That's so true.
"That's one reason why I love it here, I read and read and realize that others are feeling exactly what I feel, and it gives me strength, and I don't feel so alone." It's amazing how much better I feel when I get responses from people who know and have been exactly where I am now.
