I know facebook is evil, I only joined it to stay in contact with buds from high school (i don't see anyone any more so if a daily post keeps me in touch in a distance, that's better than nothing)
Any ways I have a bud that I do not appreciate what her significant other posted. He makes her feel like ****, it evident in her writing. He says we all should be ashamed for trying to help her and basically boosts himself up as if he is so freaking great. Calls us all drug addicts, lazy *** and so on... God damn it, I get rage with people like this. It'd no ones right to make another feel like a low life. I'm outraged he says this, she too had a drug passed, and he throws it in her face. I am sorry its not my business, but I get so mad at others that think they have the right to make their ''lover'' feel like this and then try to **** on her buds for trying to help her cope... We all were not bashing him by the way. Like saying bsquare about him, I'm sorry if he saw it that way... So mad that for an instant I could see homicidal actions going through my head. My apologies. I guess I get upset due to she is a good person, I can relate in a way to her and wish she had strength (not that my boyfriend does that but I've had family that has) I can't give strength and I want to say leave this jackass but I don't. Its not my place... |

I'm sorry your friend is getting emotionally beaten up by her SO. I think if you are going to read that kind of stuff and discuss it with other friends (I assume if you all are all trying to help her, you all are all in contact one with the other and the SO is the odd man out?) you need to either back off paying that much attention, since it bothers you so but you feel you cannot do anything to help, or, if you are only reading stuff and not in actual one-on-one contact with these friends, you need to realize you may not be getting the whole story, that one of the others may have said/done something behind the scenes to the SO or your friend may have had other things going on with her SO that you are not aware of. It does not sound like any of it is about "you" so I would be careful imagining yourself included and then responding to what you imagine.
I can think about all the starving children in Africa, for example, and then get really angry at how their governments are good for nothing guerrilla thugs not caring for them but the whole is a much much more complicated scenario than that and I can't do a whole lot about world politics and weather patterns from where I am sitting, so worrying about that particular problem is an exercise in my head/imagination and getting me nowhere (toward helping the starving children or myself). If you are only reading on Facebook, I suggest you read less often (I only go on Facebook once every couple weeks or so to catch up) and leave your emotions about what you read, alone as it is ONLY reading, you aren't experiencing the situations firsthand, do not have the complete story and might as well be getting upset about what you read in a novel?
