[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 711501, member: 4152"] Thank you so much. And I like what you said earlier about choice. We can chose how react to such difficult situations. You and I had a little similarities with parents, although with me it was my father. AND I chose to distance myself and I do believe I made the right choice. He was very toxic. That was a profoundly difficult choice. AND ironically, I would say in most cases, probably not the way to go. But, it is a difficult and very personal choice. My father was physically and psychologically abusive. That for me, was the right call...and for you it was the right call. Different people, different situations, etc. My marriage is a very long one and we both have had to give and take...big time. I feel so very blessed. I think you are right in that this friendship perhaps in time will reveal itself. Maybe it is on a long pause. I just don't know. Relationships, especially long ones, can be tricky...that's for sure! :) [/QUOTE]
