My Mom has that toxic energy that sucks the life right out of you. Sometimes it’s best to draw the line and call it a healthy boundary. You have to take care of you and not let in the others that bring you down.

I would come see you. I am sorry things are so rough. I have been there. if you ever need to vent to someone outside of things, I’ll be here. If you don’t need that, I’ll still be here. Thinking of you, girl.

I would totally come see you. I’d bring a nice, big bottle of chilled white wine and we would sit and stare into space and not talk, if that’s what you wanted. I wish I could help you out. I totally know how you feel, because for the 3 months that B and I split up a couple of years ago, this is exactly how I felt. ESPECIALLY about the wishing people would just know what’s going on without having to discuss it and analyze it to death. The talking is the worst part.

YOU ARE NOT A BURDEN to your friends and family, so please stop thinking that way. Of course, do whatever you need to do to feel better, but don’t assume that they don’t want you around. We, as humans, never know what to say to make others feel better, which is all we really want to do. Sometimes we just have to sit and stare into space with someone in order to help.

Thank God for the long weekend coming up. I have a feeling you need it desperately. In the meantime, I’m only an email away!

It definitely sounds like you need a break. And given what you’ve gone through in the past few months, you certainly deserve one.

I totally know what you mean about wanting people to know what’s going on but not wanting to talk about it. That’s a perfect way of putting it.
