I need to tattoo that on the insides of my eyelids. I want you to know I've come back to this post several times in the past few days to help me deal with some issues that have come up, and come up HARD, for me. I applaud your willingness to share and put it out there. For every person who acknowledges your help there are probably 10 more who don't. So Thank You X 10 for those folks. :D “When you’re holding a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”

I have old abandonment issues and I would just stop trying after the second mess up. The other thing I find very hard that you haven't mentioned is when people have different ideas of what keeping in touch means. It is painful to try to communicate with someone regularly (or meet them regularly) and not get anything back from them. Some people are just happy meeting once in 3 months and calling you friends. Some need to meet twice a month to feel the same way. I really have to push myself to keep inviting these friends into my home without expecting that they will initiate contact the next time. It is exhausting but it does pay off. You’re stronger than I am. I have old abandonment issues and I would just stop trying after the second mess up.
