Have you ever had a group of friends, family, or coworkers, etcetera that you were very involved in and then all of a sudden for no known reason, felt as though you were shunned? I have recently discovered this very helpless feeling myself. The feeling of being outkast when you have sacrificed so much for those that now have nothing to say to you. Its almost belittling, as if to say "you are of little importance to me", and in all honesty it brings me to tears and sometimes sheer anger. And the worst part is, I don't know what I did to cause this. When I look back upon the history of my involvement, I realize I was putting in way more than I was getting out. I realize that I was never as significant as I thought I was. I realize that I may have even tried to be something that I never could have been. I was too dependent. I was too emotionally linked. I made myself too vulnerable. I put myself at the mercy of their actions. So how do you undo the emotional link, how do you make yourself feel un-belittled. How do you act in the presence of them? All I want to do is remove myself geographically and get amnesia, all I know to do is pray.

This makes me sad.
Aww, ang. We've ALL felt this at some time or another. I think these are the times we learn how hard it is to be Christ-like. To know you care more about somebody than they do for you HURTS... isnt that the story of God? But He still chooses to love. Hopefully, we can do the same. But my heart hurts for you cause i know exactly what you mean. :-(
It never fails you and I go through the same thing within months. I have had this same intervention in the past month and it does hurt. You couldn't have come up with a better title. Just like I did I encourage you to lean on the ones that really love you and give you the appreciation you deserve, because you are such an awesome person that deserves all the best! I love you!
