Do you remember my utter heart-wrenching devastating pain over that?
Dude! Not only did I not lose him, he's sorta into Matt Kahn now!---and he's a Devout Atheist! : )
He listened to this video on Radical Acceptance I sent him and he liked it a lot. : )
He is still my bff.
I have successfully released my desire for more than a platonic friendship with him too!
More on that another time.
I so totally lost my FOO+ (family of origin and relatives) for life, but I didn't lose him!
THEY are abusive to me. HE is not!
He deeply cares about me.
He is a very good friend to me. : )

Mostly About My FOO (family of origin), And My Recovery From Them -- "If you know your mother doesn't tell you the truth, don't keep acting like she does." ~ Iyanla Vanzant "If you know that your father has a tendency to not honor his word, don't keep trusting he's going to do what he says he's going to do (just) because he's your father." ~ Iyanla Vanzant
2016 Update: I care more about this blog than I do that "they" can read it, otherwise I'd stop writing it and create a new one. As long as they finally leave me and my little family alone, there should be no problem, even though I requested that they don't read it. Since they have no interest in my writing, I'm probably safe. I hope so hard they will finally respect our wishes of no contact. I care so much about telling the truth and bringing healing. I fought my entire life to bring communication, truth, and healing to my FOO. There's nothing left to fight for so I have given up, at age 59. I can now only bring healing to myself and other survivors through my words. I finally went back to work on my heart-wrenching memoir that I wrote in 2012 that I originally wrote for them as my last Hope of getting my beloved family of origin and relatives back. But, There Are None So Blind As Those Who Will Not See
