A modest journal. |
| I am irritated by the comments and attitudes of a close friend. I find myself backing away from her as a protective measure. Putting on a false smile when I am sad on the inside, makes me feel guilty. My friend just turned 80; I wonder if age has something to do with her behavior. God, help me speak with her without hurting her. I also wonder----is it her or is it me. Am I being overly sensitive. Then on the other hand she has many former friends who are not returning her calls. She talks with me about this and says that she is going to quit calling them as she doesn't want to be the only one making an effort to maintain these friendships. So, I believe her behavior is real and widespread----not just affecting me. This lady is also my sponsor in the Al-Anon program (a support program for friends and families of alcoholics). Today I find myself considering another sponsor... though I don't want to hurt her feelings. Praying about the situation seems to keep me focusing on it, and I certainly don't want to focus on it. I'd like to put it out of my mind. |
