			<description><![CDATA[Hi Val. From what I have learned, time is what is going to heal these wounds. It is soo hard. It's like a rollercoaster. Good/bad days.  
  
 I leaned on my ex for support, but never got it. Which made my situations doubly hard. Now, i am trying to learn to trust myself and lean on family and people w...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Amanda,

I know that I am better off without him,but there really wasn't...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Val, 
 You have been through a lot of hurt!  I can share some personal experiences to kind of relate to and support you. 
 There is a guy I dated for a year when I was 18...so about 11 years ago now.  He was my first "boyfriend" but we started out as just "buddies."  This topic is controversial...c...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Melanie25 :), 
  
 I had the possibility of another guy and, when it dropped off (for various reasons - both ends, I think - perhaps even more so mine)... I realized it made me vulnerable and put me at an emotionally weaker position than I would be if I took the time and let my wounds heal.  I think d...]]></description>

We had that type of relationship,prior to becoming involved romantically.It was uncanny the way that you described the situation.We were just like that.I had been abused in my 17 year marriage and I was very very vulnerable when he came into ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Val, Melanie, you both have a wonderful way of trying to work this thing out. You are both doing the right things by being cautious. Val, trust me I know the pain and hurt of feeling like someone was with me because of what I could potentially be financially. While I am not well off, I even have a h...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Val, I'm so glad I helped. 
  
 And I second that about pats. I've been thinking about that sort of thing lately, well the whole thing about what we need emotionally. We NEED pats... and company, and to share, listen, learn....so much. No wonder we get needy... we feel the pain of not getting what ...]]></description>
