I hope you can see past this in Doug, ((((((Hamstergirl)))))), because, as you've so many times said, overall he has been a very supportive, consistent friend.

Simply, he isn't where you are, and he probably is not going to ever fully understand. From his perspective, I'm sure he believes what he is telling you will help, but I understand why it doesn't.

You don't want to lose the friendship, I know, so can you find a way to see past his limited understanding of how you are feeling and your experience of reality right now?

Thinking of you, Peanut
