Undiagnosed How Do I Speak Respectfully, But Firmly, To A Neighbor Who Has Bullied /terrorized Me For For Years?

Rainie,

I'm sorry that we don't allow deleting of posts, but I just hope I can reassure you that the other people on this forum are very understanding.

We have all bared our souls on here, and I know that feels embarassing when you aren't used to doing that. Still, I think it's healthy, and maybe it will help you to work up the courage to write more about what you are going through.

(((Hugs)))

Are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist Raine?

Yes, to the above, question, but every time I address this matter all I get is unrealistic expectations ~ so I do not go often.

Sometimes all I really need is just her to listen, listen, love, love, and empathize. I already know, or have tried what I know already to do. I honestly go to her because I need comfort, not fixing. I know she cares but she has little sensitivity, and I can not tell her this for it would hurt her I fear.

Ever since I lost my two sons, I feel like an open wound, but I am one who is a person who's main purpose in life has always been to comfort, encourage, and emotionally care for others.

I am not complaining ~ It's what I was born to do... I do not always do it well, but the longer I live the more I learn. But sometimes it would be nice to receive comfort too.
But that has to come from other comforters / encouragers. :)
