Hugs desperately needed. I may have just reached the end of my rope.

Thank you Mamie it does. I have been doing so much whining on the board lately it is embarrassing. But I really need to know there are well meaning people out there. I am extremely vulnerable and fragile because of events in my life. And someone who is well aware of that has chosen to not only stick a knife in me but to twist it repeatedly.

Thank you Citrus... every friendly face helps. I'm feeling slightly more rational. I need to keep things in perspective. Than person is not worth my tears yet he can make me cry at the drop of a hat. And he seems to get off on that.

Ooooh more rope... can I fashion a noose? The trouble is you are right on target. It is all a game to him. And I never even signed up to play. Love is not a sport for me.

Remember to breathe and, when you are stunned by something that he says, do not offer anything that he can use against you later. Smile and pretend that you feel completely in control, even when you're quivering like jello. It works every time. That way, you can buy thinking time and decide how to respond later or if you will respond ever. Keep looking up!

Gidget, check your email. And don't let the turkey pull you down! Remember that behind his machinations to try and manipulate you (ooh, do I get bonus points for big words?) is really a huge amount of fear and insecurity in himself. He's just trying to make you feel small so he'll feel bigger. Adopt a mantra. Something like: "I am a strong, independent woman and I'm going to be fine." Repeat it over and over in your head as he says whatever he's saying. Heck say it out loud if you want. Think of his words as drops of rain and you are a duck swimming happily in a pond as the drops fall harmlessly off your back.

Well so many ways to turn. Right now Tex I gotta say smacking the **** out of him sounds so good. I will keep that one in reserve. I gave up violence years ago. I know you were joking but I am not. If I thought taking a physical stance would help me I just might do it.

Vee I will try to take your advise. Unfortunately I am the kind of person who shoots first and asks questions later... I will not be baited... I will not be baited... I will not be baited... ok not working but I got that quivering thing down cold

I'm glad that you've been able to calm down. We are all here whenever you need to "whine" , which personally I don't think you are doing. I'm the type that keeps everything inside but I know I have found friends here that let me rant and it feels so much better.

Max thank you so much. That did make me smile. Thank you for sharing what you have with me. It means a lot to be able to talk to someone who completely understands and has been there. I am sure many of us have been there at different times. Luvmyjrt said the cutest thing this weekend... "boys are dumb". This boy is not only dumb he is a big meany too.

I get that feeling a lot. I think it's the age that I'm at and what I am going through at this stage of my life. I often feel like I don't really know who I am anymore too.

The movie, Gidget? I've heard of it but never seen it. When I'm hurt or sad about life or love, I always think of these words (courtesy of E. Hemingway)...In the morning a big wind was blowing and the waves were running high up on the beach and he was awake a long time before he remembered that his heart was broken. The human spirit is remarkably resiliant - hold on, Gidget, things will get better for you!
