Need to run something by you friends-

Just walked the fabulous fur person with my husband-
Talked about what I have been choosing, which is basically
hiding out, reclusive behavior.
I am fine with it, as I explained to my husband.
It feels right in a world of trouble.
I like the company of my fur people, not so much my so called "friends"
who all feel like energy vampires at this point in my life.
I have one friend of 25 years who calls only to talk about his troubles-
I've offered what I consider pretty good advice over the years- never taken.
In the mean while I have experienced significant personal crisis with my
beloved daughter and her mental illness problems- no one ever seems to ask-
"How are you doing?" More like "It's your fault," and by the way,
can you give me a ride from the airport-
Or endless tirades about bad dates- you name it.
I feel really safe right now- hiding out in my "cave."
Absolutely NOTHING in my life has turned out as I hoped it would-
I think it right to be able to grieve that reality in private
without the vampires trying to take my time and energy-
Calling, asking why I haven't called back-
I don't call back because I don't get what I need from
those people- it's all about them.
There is never room in their conversations for Me.
Thanks for letting me vent-
BHN
