so sad & frustrated...
Those of you who are close to me are already aware of this but I just need to write my feelings down. I don't quite know how to stop being sad, and I am just frustrated with some relationships in my life right now. In the last year & a half I have hurt two friends. Totally two different circumstances, friends, & situations but it's weird to have this happen in such a short time frame. But apparently I have hurt these people to the point that they don't even want to be friends anymore. I am writing this now because one of the relationships is very fresh. Going through this now makes me feeling like I am reliving the other experience even though they were different situations. I understand how and why I have hurt this person but I had to make the decision that I made for myself and my family. It needed to happen and now I have lost someone who meant a lot to me in order to protect the ones dearest to me. I find myself sorry sometimes, angry other times, baffled, frustrated. I don't understand why relationships have to be this hard and hurt this much. The funny thing is that both of these friendships probably weren't the healthiest or the best for either of us involved. There needs to be some growing all around but it doesn't make it easier to loose. I truly hope that God is able to bring healing, peace and comfort. Maybe some day I will be have to have a friendship with both of them again.

I wish I could offer some advice but I suck at friendships. I'm bad about neglecting them. Or I end up offending someone without meaning to. I don't have any really close friends and I seldom keep friends for more than a couple of years. Its sad. I do have my husband though. Men are just so much easier to deal with but once you are married it becomes hard to keep friends of the opposite sex.
I know full well (as yo uknow) how hard it is to lose friendships. I encourage you to focus on the heathly ones you still have! =)
Jennifer,
I am sorry that you are in pain. Some friendships cause more pain being friends than ending the friendship all together. I think you made good choices, even though it is hard.
I love you~
I'm so sorry to hear about your sadness and pain. I don't know you well, so I can't offer advice, but I'm sure that you made the right decisions. God first, family second.
I'm forty and I have found that over the last ten years or so my friendships have changed dramatically.
I now think my 'best' friends are those I could call anytime and they would do their best to help me. No matter what I was asking of them...
I don't have the same time as I did even five years ago...life changes and we change with it. That's not a bad thing....
It's very hard to say "goodbye" to people you thought were friends, sometimes they come back but sometimes they just don't.
I hope you feel better soon although it may take some time...
