@delissasheart well, you can always travel to the future... second by second... but you'll get to the "future" eventually, a time when whatever is bothering you now will be just a bad memory...
I can relate to this at this time. I have decided to take a breather. Stay alone. Be quiet and ignore anything that intrudes on my world...until further notice. That one person is my third daughter who has disowned me for about the dozenth time, and I've decided that this time, is the last. My grandkids are all grown up now. I feel no need to accept the abuse anymore, to be allowed access to the children.
For a while, I'm staying in my cozy corner and recovering from the last batch of poison she fed me. Not literal poison. Pshycological abuse is more her style.
Excellent choice on venting, it really helps and of course it introduces your dilemma to others who may be able to give advice. Just to say again venting helps continue doing it.
It’s not you! Trust me.. I was told I was weak for feeling that way and I told his stupid a** if I was that weak, I would’ve cracked him in the head with the frying pan by now- but I know it’d be my luck I’d kill the b*stard and I’m not going to prison for him.
