Trust is the cornerstone of any good relationship, romantic or otherwise. Trust is also, considering my history, the hardest part of any relationship for me.
At this point most of the struggles with trust come down to confidence. So please don’t take this as an indictment of the people I trust, but of me.

Deep thoughts.
I suppose this is the opposite of “Hell is other people.”

I think I have this conversation with almost everyone at some point.

Text is an incredibly effective form of communication. And also occasionally a completely terrible idea.

When I was newly divorced, I found myself surrounded by people who seemed to think that talking about my divorce made me a bitter person. Not a person who is bitter over something that happened, but a fundamentally bitter person.
So I tamped it down.
Even last Summer when I was dealing so directly with my emotional issues, I tended to gloss over what happened during my marriage. I talked about my recent breakup all the time (ALL THE TIME [sorry, friends]), but I rarely talked about my marriage.
I’m afraid it’s not something I can avoid any longer.
If you think you might be a victim of gaslighting, please look for some resources and start to find help. The article that I found most helpful to me can be found at everydayfeminism.com, which is a fantastic site in its own regard.
You’re not alone. You’re not crazy.
