    Hi Towguy. Well that was a closer alright. My Aunt, a complete cynic, always said when poverty comes in the door, love goes out the window! Well anyhow, her father got his point across. Who at 31 years of age gets their daddy involved?? Sounds like someone very immature to me, but that's not for me to judge. You are very lucky to be living in a country with such space, diversity and opportunity. I hope that you will have some luck soon in securing some employment or at the very least some great adventures in looking for it. Not being from the US, I am full of romantic notions of what it must be like to be able to travel so far and wide without ever having to take an aeroplane or a boat. Also, without the burden of a relationship the whole world is there for your exploration. Maybe you could take a year out and just travel, see new places, meet new and interesting people and in time forget about that person. Take it easy though, one day at a time. I hope today will be a nice one for you. Take care of yourself and do keep in touch!!

    I am doing somewhat better as of this afternoon. I had called her to ask for her forgiveness for whatever i may have done and to see if i can email her every once in a while at least. She said i could email her. Then i get a call today from her father (me and her are both 31 yrs old) threatening my life if i try to contact her ever again. I didn't care for this so i laid into him and set the record straight. Apparently they (her and her father) both think i am scum because i got laid off from my job and couldn't find another. I looked for work, there was nothing in the area available. So if she couldn't stay by me in my time of need as i would have done for her no question, then who needs her. I think this may be the closer i need, i hope. All i can do is take it one day at a time.

    My heart goes out to you. There is very little comfort available to you at this stage as everything is too fresh and raw. Time does heal and that is a fact. You need to get through this awful period by being kind and gentle and patient with yourself. You will heal from this hurt in time. Your self esteem has taken a battering but that can recover too. Of course you are worthy of being loved!!! I am not a therapist or a counsellor but I have personally known people who have been in similar situations and against all the odds they came out the other side smiling. If I were you today I would try very hard to do something nice; get out in the air, walk as much as you can, there's great healing in that. Keep in contact with people as you wish and be alone when you need to be alone. Your heart isn't broken by the way, it's bruised. Your kindness, love and generosity was thrown back in your face and your trust in another was betrayed. Now I don't think you've done anything wrong or anything to be ashamed of so I'd rather be in your shoes any day. Keep in touch!
