With all due respect Val, I resent this post. You are making assumptions and judgment's about my behavior that are unwarranted and unappreciated.
The queer community is small. If you want to have a life, you run into exes more frequently than straight folk would. That is reality.
Plus, I don't choose to live in a protective bubble as a hermit just to avoid stuff.
Strength does not come from avoidance. Strength comes from learning how to deal with stuff when it finds its way to your doorstep. Strength comes from facing stuff head on, knowing you can find your way out the other end with your head held high. Strength comes from desensitizing yourself to the negative effects of something.
I don't believe in the stick your head in the sand and hope it goes away approach to life or problems. To me, that is giving the ex the power they crave. That is giving them the power to control your life, where you go, what you do, who you see, who you talk to, etc. No one is going to take my personal power away from me.
I am taking my life back. I am a strong woman. I am not going to shrink in fear because my feelings might get a lil bruised.
Hey Mcauleyan!
I'm sure it does hurt. It's cruel to hurt someone with intention!
How do you know anything about what she is doing? Her declaration of independence, I mean.
If she is doing anything that hurts you, why are you putting yourself in a position to hear, or see anything?
Best Wishes,
