The truth is in this case nobody really did harm me, just didn't (to my knowledge) receive what I gave and I took it rather hard. The hurt came from my nephew who never acknowledged the column/poem I wrote for him last week. We used to be very close and somehow I have lost that closeness and it hurts. I want only happiness for him. I just wish he loved me more than it feels like he does. And now I have spilled the whole truth.Ravenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996538460071167819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36130350.post-3708687716771471572008-03-18T19:17:00.000-04:002008-03-18T19:17:00.000-04:00I'm sorry about your feelings being hurt.

You're an awesome person...kind, thoughtful, loving...and it's his deeply profound loss!<BR/><BR/>Spring is coming...I just know it!

There is this guy back here in Iowa that I wanted to have think of me as his (surrogate) father. Over the past year I have been hurt by him more than I have ever been hurt by anyone. And, like you I blamed myself...because I am a "bad" person. I am working through it and have come to the conclusion that he is the one who is all f*&^ked up. I have a lot of people tell me that they think there is something wrong with him and when I see him I can see that. It doesn't help that his actions still hurt but I am not letting ME take the blame anymore. It is his problem and deep down I don't think he likes himself very much. So don't take the blame yourself. You are a child of the universe and you have a right to be here and NO ONE had the right to harm you. The things they do will go back on them and you will be the stronger one. Hang in there Spring is coming. I promise. jjaycoles@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299489611656202052noreply@blogger.com
