I am still here and still fighting. Actually it seems as if I am even thriving! 4 entire weeks of no contact in any way, shape, or form, I would never have dreamt that I had the strength for such an undertaking especially considering how much I "needed and wanted" him. This is my truth: I need myself. I have needed myself for the past 38 years and every time I got involved in a toxic relationship with an emotionally unavailable man, I deserted and abandoned myself. Well, never again. If someone doesn't see the value in me, I will not waste one more second of my precious time waiting around for them to do so. To end this post, I wanted to quote the author Susan Elliott who wrote this on a post of mine in a FB breakup support forum. This response was in reply to a post of mine about being hurt that I haven't heard from him:
"He reaches out and then what? What happens? What does that look like? And why does it matter? He has his head totally up his ass and you want validation from him that you're worth something? The contact from a completely screwed up person who can't see the value of having you in his life would mean something? Why?"
These are powerful and helpful words. The truth will always set me free!
