Catharsis
… as I look back over the years, I can honestly thank those who ran out on me at the most fragile point in my life. I would still be leaning on them should hardship once again visit me.

True. As I look back, I am SO glad some people who were important to me AT THE TIME are now not in my life. You put into words what has been floating in my mind of late……………..Thank you.

… I can’t put much blame on them, other than not to put much faith in pronouncements of fidelity.

It’s trite, but the statement “You find out who your friends are” is sooooo true. When the going gets tough most desert you like rats on a sinking ship! But it makes the ones who stick around all the more precious.

Leaning on others has always gotten me in trouble. I finally figured out that, to the exact degree I allow someone to “take care” of me, I lose the ability to take care of myself. So, I stopped leaning and plowed on.

I think that is the essence of liberty. Apparently the desire for subjugation is the norm for many people.
Odd how the term liberty has been redefined to being subject to higher authority.

I can’t say that I’ve ever leaned on someone to keep me going. However, I was hurt when someone I loved for many years disappeared when I was diagnosed with cancer.
