EverHopeful,
Wow... I feel like you have written exactly what I experienced as well (including the
'I just want to be best friends' ~via text) ~ We just may have been partners with the same man!! Your post is so incredibly helpful. The explanation of the intermittent Chicken is so spot on.
I could not define what I felt happened in my relationship with XABF but this analogy has absolutely put it into the right perspective for me! and having a better understanding of what was happening (a cycle of abuse-
whether intentional or not) really does help with healing... thank you so much for sharing your story xx
and NO MORE pellets for this Chicken!... I want a full meal and dessert next time
