[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 744201, member: 13303"] Copa, I know you mean well and you bring a unique perspective. I appreciate it. Friend and I do have lifelong issues and challenges. The difference is that now, I choose to work and grow through them. He chooses otherwise. He was willing to do the work until I communicated the level of my displeasure with some of his behavior. It was only then that he became defensive, shut down, and shut me out. I am seething at the inequity as I have stayed steadfast by his side through equal, if not greater, dysfunction than what I've gone through with W during these past few years. He will not do the same for me. I will never not see this as abandonment. He did not even give me the chance to hear his boundaries. Never gave me the opportunity to adjust and learn from the mistakes I admittedly made handling this very difficult time. He simply left. He selfishly left. I am done with him. [/QUOTE]
