AlteredState01: that was one heck of a reply &
it means so much more coming from someone dealing with it.i can sense your pain-I can sense you sense mine...thats a lot of senses to put in one sentence tho!

Im actually going to print it & read it several times to fully absorb it.

One thing that she has mentioned quite a few times is that nearly every man/boyfriend (maybe some women friends too) have walked away hating her guts.
At first I told her: "Hey..I'll never do that"..and its true I don't want to!
I'd rather educate myself and work on 'my' triggers and remain a true friend...but I can see how frustraing it is for her & me...by what you've said. God give me strength.

I really 'super' appreciate the time & effort that went into your response
once again.I shall probably be back with further thoughts on what you wrote.

In the meantime stay well.Your story has touched me..
thanks
