Not sure where to start or end, WAW - #2

[john28]

I was just reading the thread about being friends with your WAS.

I think for my own sanity and detachment I can't be friends with my W. She has hurt me too much for me to be friends with her right now and give her permission and help her rip this family apart. It makes me angry that she does this to us and refuses to work on the M. I have so much resentment and anger built up for her.

I love her very deeply. Maybe more now than I ever have before. But I'm afraid that I just can't be friends with her anymore. She desperately wants to be friends with me, and has even cried before when saying, "I thought we would always be friends!".

I read Puppy's line about when he stopped being friends with his W.

I won't -not- be friends with her to win her back, or use as a tactic, but I think I have to free myself more from her grasp. I don't think I can do that if I am her friend anymore. At least not right now.
