Re: DD?

  • Nope, you didn't. I think I caught it though.

    Grrr.  I guess she didn't get the validation she was looking for.

  • No, it's ok.  She just needed to vent.  Everyone needs to do things on their own time.

    I don't know if she was looking for validation. Sometimes I think writing it down makes is more real which is turn makes it more scary. I remember feeling like that.

  • That is true. Her time line is very similar to how mine was.

    I can understand this.  Not her situation... but the thing about writing it down.  I think if she'd left it up, she would have gotten some solid advice and maybe the strength to do what she needs to do. 

    DD'ing says to me that she's likely going to bury her head in the sand until something just as bad or worse happens, which scares the crap out of me.

    Makes me want to go "grrrrr".  That's all.

    No, I get you. It is frustrating when you see someone who clearly is in a bad, bad situation and can't or won't see it. I think the positive is that at least she posted in the first place. This tells me that she obviously knows that *something* isn't right with her relationship. It is a scary thing to go through and hopefully she will address it when she is ready.

    ITA.  I've never been in that situation so I honestly can't begin to imagine what it is like.
