As i once read, Feel the fear and do it anyway.

There will be times when you have to be honest with yourself and put a end to things and people who no longer have a positive impact on your life

To let go

The struggle for me is that i fear that if i let this one person go, it will be so painful, I come to realize that i have become perhaps to reliant on this person and it made me mad. Only for the fact that i am waiting for the day he decides to leave, and he will.

Letting go of the people who mean a great deal to me, feels me with dread and fear.

But he doesn't feel the same as i do for him and thats painful.

I fear the anger and hurt. I fear the love and happiness. I fear living as if it never happened. I fear the depressive episode.

But i know, Feel the fear and do it anyway. Feel the things because they are your own emotions and thoughts.

I wish you peace as you deal with this. Letting go may be the best thing you can do for yourself. As hard as that sounds. It could be true.....

You deserve better. Your body and mind must know that based on the clarity you have. Yes, it will be painful. But it will be empowering. If you can, I challenge you to consider making the move to end the relationship. That puts you in control. Otherwise, you are waiting around to be the victim of his moods and actions. How helpless that must feel for you. We are here to support you.
