• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

For those of you who are following this thread, I am going to read what I have written from a list I made, and, record it to a tape. And, while I am reading from that list, I am going to explain in this way: "I need, or, I want." This is all about me, and, my needs. So, I will let you all know how it went when I get this done, and, ready to send to this soon to be ex friend. Thanks for all the help to those of you who gave it to me. GOD Bless each,m and, everyone of you.

Well, this weekend is the time I get the blank tape, and, record in one sitting what I have planned to say to this person. I will mail it sometime in the next two weeks, and, then, I will be done with this whole thing. And, then I will let you all know what I am doing, and, how I am doing with this after I mail it. I will feel better about this whole thing. And, GOD will have closed this one door, and, He will have opend another bunch of doors for me to have better friends that will not do these things to me. So, when it is in the mail, I will come here, and, tell you all my feelings about this. So, keep this thread on the lookout for new posts by me. And, those of you who have helped me through to this point, mainly you, Ariel, can post what you think about this so far. And, I will be kind, and, listen to what the LORD has to say to me while I am recording this tape. Thanks, and, GOD Bless!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, my friends, I have made the tape, and, have it already to go in the mail tomorrow morning. I am feeling GREAT about this, and, will feel GREAT about this the whole way. I don't care what I said except that it was positive, and, to the point, and, that my now exfriend has known that the friendship is over, and, that this is, was, and, always will not be a joke. I am having one door close, but, you know what? Many more doors will be open for me, and, I know the LORD will be okay with that happening. He does not want this friendship to last since it is a sour one. I am not putting the blame on anyone, because I know that both of us have done things that yes we may regret, but, the friendship is over. I want to PRAISEW the LORD for getting me through this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, you guys can voice your opinions on this, and, tell me what you think. I know I did the right thing, and, GOD knows it. So, except for Ariel, who got me to make the tape, and, say what I had to say, tell me if you all think this was the right thing to do, even if I am going to send the tape to him. I am not going to call him, and, ask if he is okay with this, because that would make it seem that I want to be friends again, and, that is not what I want. This friendship is offically over with!!!!!!!!!!!

My dad did read the email I sent him, and, when we were talking last night, he did say that he got it, and, I asked him if he understands, and, he said he does. He also just said forget the friendship which is surprising, since he likes this ex friend, I thought he would say to call him, but he is on my side. And, at first he asked if he called, and, I said no, since he has no way of calling since he does not know the # here, and, if I knew about it, then I would get on a friend that has the #, and, tell him that he was not supposed to give our # out. So, all is well right now. And, I am feeling confident that I will never have to deal with this person again, except if I go to the blind summer camp next summer. We are going to be cabin mates, because it is age grouped, if you know what I mean. I will cross that bridge when I come to it. Or, I will ask you guys if I need to cross that bridge. Hopefully not, but, who knows.

Well, my Dad just told me tonight that this friend tried calling him half a dozen times, and, he thinks that it is about me, and, what I did by sending the tape. And, this ex friend is going to want my Dad to intervene about this. So, my dad has to re read the email I sent him, and, figure out what to say to him to get him to realize what is going on. So, I don't know what to say about this. I am just frazled that my Dad told me about this. So, I will want to know to know what has been said to this person that my Dad will have to tell about this. And, yes my Dad read the email that I did send him, and, it said that I did not want him telling me about this, but, I don't know anymore. What do I do now? Do I want to know what my Dad said to this person about this, or, what?

CC, I think you can just tell your dad that you don't want any further contact and leave it at that. If your dad wants to know why, just tell him that you don't think this friendship is good for you. Thank your dad for his care for you, but tell him this is something you have thought over, and this is what you feel you need to do.

Praying for you.

In the email I sent him before about this, I told him that I do not want contact about this situation anymore, but, he does not seem to get it. I will just tell him the next time we talk that I do not want to talk about this anymore. ANd, I will tell him that he can talk to this person, but, that I do not want him to tell me anything about it anymore. I am through with this friend, and, that is all there is to it. Thanks for praying for me. I appreciate it.
