Manta,

I know I came across as harsh, and i understand that what you share here is not your whole life, and might not even be representative of it. My characterization of your situation may have been unfair.

I just know that often times the best advice I got on her (especially from Benito!) was often the advice that stung the most to read. It made me question why it hurt so much, and generally it was because it touched an exposed nerve, something so sensitive that I tried to ignore it or just not deal with it.

Don't give WW the power to emasculate or dehumanize you. Your power and strength are inside of you, and she can't touch them. You just need to reconnect with them. The more time you spend pining for someone who has treated you so crappily, the less time you have to do that. That's why GAL is so important.

It will get better, I promise you that. Just keep moving forward.
