Help me from saying, writing...

Kimmie, I hate to acknowledge that you might be right... but you are... for too long I think I've blamed her 'illness' as opposed to saying here's someone, who is incapable of acknowledging others' feelings, needs, respect etc.

I've always thought myself an astute judge of the human condition, after being with many difficult 'broken' women, but hoping I would have the joyousness of life, and optimism they were missing...

Only.. to get trounced by them? I really hoped that W would be different. The first 10 years were GREAT, I really thought W was appreciative of someone who would give them a 'chance' and cheerlead when she was frequently 'down'... only to get taken advantage of... I need to stop thinking I did something to bring this on (too smothering, complacent, forgivint, ?)
