Just needed to speak to someone who knows what I'm going through because my sister just doesn't understand, she told our parents and they don't get it either.
Oh they get it all right.....I think it's you who is not getting it.
I didn't understand when all my family and friends saw my ex in a light I was unable to accept at that time. My own overly caring, overly worrying unhealthy habits kept me imprisoned to someone I basically became addicted to. I had to come to a point where the pain of remaining grew larger then the fear/pain/sadness of leaving.
