For the last few months I feel like I have been in a mental tug-of-war between my heart and my head. I have stuck to my boundaries, and it has been very uncomfortable at times, I just kept saying NO, and I believe my poa final has gotten the message, it is over. I feel numb, I kept looking and wanting to feel the way he use to make me feel, and it never happened, I felt nothing. I could not ignore all the lies, and mental abuse this person put me thru. I feel angry at times, and just want to lash out, but why? He would never understand. Everything has it's season, and this season in my life is over now, it is time for me to re-bloom into the beautiful person that I am, and too move on from all of this pain, so I dont remain in the bondage of this unhealthy person. It feels like baby steps, I have alot going on, my poa is finally gone, and I lost my job in December and I am looking for a new job, and I feel like my life is starting over once more. I saw this little quote the other day on my fb page, and when I read it, it hit the nail on the head, and I wanted to pass this on. Love and Hugs and Prayers to all, never give up, and always listen to your inner self. Attachments:

It's not whether your PoA gets the message, it's whether you do. Remember, by contacting a PoA at all, to say anything, even if it's "no", what you begin to say, in so many words, is "I am still available for you to talk to".
Glad you're taking care of yourself. You'll feel even better when you stop contacting this guy. And good luck with finding a new job, it seems a few of us are looking this month. New year, new beginning.

I'm thinking about your Bob Marley quote. Men who "awaken" a woman's love to me really means a man who comes on strong at first, and having "no intention to love her" to me means they get scared of engulfment real fast. This is the classic love avoidant.
I read something about love addicts and love avoidants again yesterday that I think is so interesting. In fact they are just like us- we (love addicts) are very afraid of abandonment. Unconsciously we are afraid of intimacy (that's why we go for unavailable people). A love avoidant is afraid of intimacy (engulfment) and unconsciously they are afraid of adandonment. The matching pieces of an unhealthy jigsaw puzzle.
