Quote: I do know that I have one gift in particular that is being tested now - Being able to love unconditionally and absorb whatever hurt I have to, if it means that someone I love will better themselves and find a happier life with or without me. And I can absorb a LOT of hurt, I've been doing it all my life.
Strange! Today I was at my therapist and she asked me a similar question "How much pain and hurt am I willing to put up with, and when is enough enough?"
I really never had the answer, and it seems Frank and many of us have a high tolerance to pain and hurt! Is this good or bad? Are we enabling our WAS because of our strength of commitment and high pain tolerance?
I know personally I am different person because of this, and I have found a strength I never thought I had. I can see it in Frank, TMU, and many of the others who have posted and we should be proud of that!
