Greetings.
I am experiencing anger / anxiety feeling to let go of my previous relationship and move on to the next step, I wonder if you can share your thoughts on dealing with anger feelings. I know the best thing to do is to forgive this man who hurt me emotionally, I also need to forgive myself for putting myself in that situation and did not leave earlier.. Here are the thoughts / events: -I have dated with man for over 2 and a half years, I was never invited to his apartment, when I eventually showed up at place to work out the issues, he called the police to get me out of his apartment parking lot. -Whatever he told his employer about our relationship, his employer told me they would call the police if I call this man at work. - In spite of the police involvement, which he ended up taking me home, we sort of got back to each other three weeks later; he did not feel comfortalbe of letting his roommate (cousin) and employer know that we were back to each other's life. That hurt my self-image, and self-worth, and thus, trigged major episodes of depressions. -I helped this man and his cousin on immigration applications, as the result, he received U.S. citizenship, and the cousin, received permanant residency. - When I had my episodes of depression, I had trouble eating, I stayed in bed several days, and when I called him for help ( I also called crisis line), he hanged up on me, and changed the phone number. I am grateful I made it out of the depression and am able to eat normally again. I just don't understand how a person can walk away from a desperate cry for help, I almost died at that time. Even a strager from crisis line / church offer help, why a man I was involved over 2 and 1/2 years, the one I help him to get his citizenship, would to be cruel and chose to let me die, with the knowledge I have no one else to help me / bring me food... I know Carolyn Myss mentioned the task is to focus on one became stronger because what happened, not to ask why it happened... I just want to calm my emotions. I am willing to forgive, for my own sake. Thank you. JJ |

If not to late to edit...it probably is best not to give out personal phone numbers...do you know how to use the private message function?

I've felt that rejection before, and it's not fun. When my relationship with my ex-husband was falling apart, I felt like my heart had been ripped out and stepped on many times. We wasted many years together, and it turns out he wasn't able to love me the way I needed him to love me - and I wasn't able to love him the way he needed me to love him. I wanted commitment, he wanted freedom. I wanted to be in his heart as he was in mine, but we can't control the emotions and feelings of others. In the end our paths were just different. I'm glad we didn't stay together because I never would have found true love if we had. Personally, I think you dodged a bullet with this guy. He won't even let you into his home, let alone his heart, so why would you expect him to care about you? Why would you even want a man like that in your life - one who would turn his back when you're in need? He doesn't sound like he's worth all the energy you're exerting over him. He sounds more like a future funny story to tell when people ask "Who's the biggest loser you've ever dated?" Take out your anger and get back at him by pampering yourself. Find constructive, positive indulgent, and fun things to do instead of wasting time thinking of him. If you're the physical type, take a kickboxing class and beat all memory of him to a pulp. Give yourself the love you were looking for in him. |

Kathy,
This is the best advice I received ever since I reached out for help! You actually brought a smile on my face. Going through my feelings (in this case, anger) does not mean I consider my self as a victim, I do want to move on. I think I am actually moving on....
