Quote: the Counselor told me that she was not really encouraged about C and I staying friends as that usually right after the D there are too many hard feelings that get in the way
My advice; get rid of the counselor! Because that is utter BS! Only you and C know if a friendship can bloom!
Yes, after a D, usually you can't be friends. You have to fight over everything (sorry to say this) but the att's seem to think they should try and "make" you hate each other; afterall it is their job! LMAO! This is in no way saying you are one of them!
It's hard to be friends when you hate each other. And that is why I didn't want to go through with my D. But, hey, H wants a D, and if he thinks getting one is going to be like taking a miracle pill; all his problems will disappear. NOT!
I hope for the sake of your D's and our GS and all future grandbabies, we can be friends. I also pray that you and C can be friends. Their should be boundaries in the beginning, though. I hope you both can remain friends, and who knows, maybe someday more than that!
Because that is utter BS! Only you and C know if a friendship can bloom!
