[QUOTE="Steely, post: 171743, member: 3301"] Well said klmno. I think I would cry if my X died as well, and he was abusive, and still is verbally abusive to both me and difficult child. We started dating when I was 16. There is a bond that you make with people, that will never go away. Despite rationale. However, that does not mean that we act on our heart. We talk to our heart, and help it to heal. We have to treat it like a child, and nurture it in the right direction. It is an entity all to itself, that deserves coddling - but by the brain. The brain is the one who is the parent. It knows what you are supposed to do, and I would encourage, almost demand that your heart follow your brain. Keep supporting your brain with the food it needs. Al anon, healthy friends, and you will make the right choices. You may still feel a lot of "feelings", but that is all they are. You do not need to act on them. Hugs. Many of us have been where you are. And we support you. [/QUOTE]
