Maybe if your B/F totally understood what you need and don't need, he would be better with his comapssion. I have learned a lot in the last month and it hurts me at times, but I love her and what she needs, she gets. Communicating your true feelings, that sometimes you honestly don't know what's wrong, and that you may or may not need this or that...let him know. I hope things get better for you!

GL and God Bless!

Well we have been doing alot of talking lately..And myself being the one going through this sometimes it is hard to communicate what is going on when I don't even know what or why i'm feeling these way.
But I have done alot of praying and Asking God to give me the ability to be able to talk and understand.. I want to get better. I'm tired of feeling like this.. And I want to start enjoying life.. I was always a happy go luck person.. and Then bamb! it all changed..
But as i have learned here baby steps...one thing at a time..
Thank you so much for your post.. and i hope that all goes well with you and your family.. Its so hard.. But if there is love and understanding then it can get better...
God Bless you also..
