(1) My hurt...Oh, this is profound, Kim. Yes, LOVE:<br /><br />(1) My hurt parts,<br />(2) What she is going through,<br />(3) The courage she had to muster to finally live in the truth,<br />(4) The fact that she has me to love her.<br /><br />These are HUGE. I had to write a list to really see it and to realize too what blessings these each are. Even #1 as I wouldn't hurt unless I loved so much.

Love your hurt parts, love your friend through what she is going through, love the courage that she had to muster to finally live in the truth, and love the fact that she has a friend like you who is there to just love her. <br />Love is the answer to every question, and this I know for sure.<Kim Mailhothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13849980369873306402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-24598420138194484232010-11-23T21:23:40.613-08:002010-11-23T21:23:40.613-08:00Thanks, Patti. Yes, I want to provide support and ...Thanks, Patti. Yes, I want to provide support and at the exact same time have appropriate boundaries and self-care so that I am not harmed either. Sometimes people act out in ways that are violent when they are using when they would not usually be that way. Or do other things that are out of character but put others in danger. <br /><br />Thanks you so much, Patti. xoOOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-63856010328475709322010-11-23T20:53:41.773-08:002010-11-23T20:53:41.773-08:00I'm actually reading a book about a drug addic...I'm actually reading a book about a drug addict at the moment, who does the twelve steps. Definitely intense! The character is successful in becoming clean, but needs a huge amount of support and trust along the way. I feel for your friend and hope she gets the support she needs.<br /><br />For you I guess, it's finding a balance between trust and wariness (?)pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293378341445115577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339250623919488760.post-69664144994986212482010-11-23T20:22:54.359-08:002010-11-23T20:22:54.359-08:00Thanks for the encouragement, Kelly.

I think it might have been a teeny tiny bit too intense for here after all (since you are the only person who commented) but it is what is going on in my life and it is a big huge deal right now. <br /><br />I am sure that other people have dealt with this too; it's just that it's pretty personal to put on a blog, I guess.
