[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who didn't love the whole you before weren't really your friends.  Yes you may have fewer friends now, but you no longer need to wonder if they are true friends - you will know it. And know that they love you in your totality and that you don't have to pretend in front of them.  And in return they will feel able to be their true selves with you and will love you for that gift.  We all want to feel whole.  And that doesn't mean overcoming the dark parts but rather learning to live with them as a part of our totality.

You are loved OP for you.  Your facade may be cracked now, but now it is real.  And I would rather have 2 real friends then 100 perfect facades.

May you find your peace on this journey.[/quote]

It is true. Your real friends are the ones who stick with you when you are a hot mess, and I know from experience. I recently had a breakdown and drove myself to the hospital because I thought I was going crazy.  Six months ago, I left my emotionally abusive marriage - I had lived in survival mode for 12 years with a hsusband who suffered from a mental illness and substance abusive. I thought I needed to be his caregiver and the stable parent for my child. It sucked the life out of me.

After my breakdown, I only recovered from the support of my true friends and colleagues who love me. I could not imagine a life without them and would do anything for them.

You are loved, OP.[/quote]
