I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

@Zoe7 I wholeheartedly agree with @utopia. Read what she said again and again in all her posts. You have so many beautiful gifts you'll be able to share again one day and they'll be reciprocated. Please take good care @Zoe7. You are cherished here 💜🤗💐

Sorry @Former-Member I didn't quite understand your post - whose posts should I read to see what was said again and again?

I think read @utopia posts mostly the last three @Zoe7. I think they had really relevant parts, especially the last one. im really sorry you are going through this but you are not alone. It is a really difficult and painful thing to have happened but I know you can get passed this. I know there is beauty in this life waiting for you.

@Faith-and-Hope sorry if my post sounded like I hadn't listened to your words - I did. I understand where you are coming from and maybe there is some truth in the words you used - but the reality for me is that I won't have anything negative said about this person (and that is not aimed at you - it's just the way I feel about them) and could never say anything against them myself. This is where I'm at: if I didn't think that this person may one day find out - and place some blame on themselves - then I would stop MY pain right now but the thought that they may somehow find out and feel any guilt is enough for me to not cause them any pain.
Yes it is an off-forum situation and that makes it even more difficult as the conversations have been regular and for long periods of time. It may be a fear of abandonment or being scared of sharing too much but I really thought we had both got past this (we both had this as an initial concern and were both scared of the connection and friendship we were developing considering our histories).
I really hope they get through whatever they are going through too and make contact again. Not just because I really enjoy their company - but I also believe that they enjoy mine also. I really want to be able to walk away from this myself at the moment but every part of me is saying 'it's too important to give up on and I am not someone in their lives that will let them down".
