If you know, or even think you know that if you were to bare your soul, to completely and totally become vulnerable to another person, even if that person is a close relative, and that person would crush you, not be supportive, and bascially slam the door on you, don't even. Don't risk your heart that way. I did tonight and needless to say, all the apologies in the world won't fix this. Something broke in me tonight, and no matter how sorry the other person is, nothing will change that. The sad thing is, I've had previous experiences like this with this person. Why can't I just learn from my mistakes and not repeat them?
