I haven't read all of your posts about your situation with Ben, but I do know he was talking about you to his mum, he broke your trust and confidentiality which is hurtful, and that he didn't really acknowledge how that upset you.

I'm just wondering if he knows where you stand with him? I'm also wondering if he knows now, that you don't like him to break confidentiality? Did it sink in that he angered you?

Sounds like you're giving your friend another chance, which is nice.
Well I didn't tell him that I was angered about it I just asked him why he did it and then I was to angry to be able to speak so I just ignored him for like 8 days and I only started talking to him today. I said this 'Hey Ben I'm just at Tafe I took sometime to think about our friendship and how I felt about you telling your mum things. I felt like I needed to think about what I wanted in life. I feel like we could continue on as a casual friendship. Though I'm probably not up to hang out a lot yet as I'm still quite busy and overwhelmed with things"

I'm the kind of person who can hold onto anger until I explode and it's just simmering for so a while. I'm not sure how I'm ment to deal with anger especially when it's from someone breaking my trust. It appears that I'm giving him a chance but I'm hoping I can slowly break our friendship because I've tried leaving in the past but he got so upset when I tried to break off the friendship. I decided that I won't talk about my feelings at all with him and it will be a very superficial friendship. I mean I feel like he doesn't deserve the air I breathe to be honest. I know that sounds mean but I'm still angry. Like I said I don't know how to deal with anger.
