Every time you are reminded that their love is conditional, by choice,it will be just as painful as the last, because it is just as wrong after thirteen years as it was when the decision was made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-48901633432341606002007-08-21T15:18:00.000-04:002007-08-21T15:18:00.000-04:00Mark, I would be more worried about you if you did...Mark, I would be more worried about you if you didn't have any emotional reaction to this situation. That would mean that you had created an emotional wall and weren't allowing yourself to feel.<BR/><BR/>These are people that you love, and that have hurt you. It's never not going to hurt. It's OK that it hurts. They have treated you shabbily, and that should hurt.<BR/><BR/>But, you are doing the best thing - talking to people about how you are feeling. That gives us all the chance to remind you that you are an amazing person, and you make such a big difference in so many lives!<BR/><BR/>It truly is their loss if they don't want you to be a part of their lives. The sad part is that you lose something too...<BR/><BR/>But, I am glad you do the honest thing - it's tougher and more painful, but it makes you stronger.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184317797791310829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-3440573087937357112007-08-21T06:54:00.000-04:002007-08-21T06:54:00.000-04:00That's awful.

I think the pain comes from losing family who disown you, shun you and then expect you to act as if you are family. <BR/><BR/>They don't realize that such acts hurt them as much as the ones the use it on.<BR/><BR/>Know that we think you are a wonderful person and its amazing to me that people would push you away.<BR/><BR/>We love you Mark! -- Joe and RogerBugsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915837236872511912noreply@blogger.com
