If I am through with you, I am through. You mean that one?
Not you, Rosie, I mean that is what happens with me when I am through with an individual.
It takes a lot. But I have told people that they were warned by me before and ignored my warning. Good-bye.
I had a friend I adored, but he would not stop drinking and being destructive; and after years of acting out and wrecking his life, I told him that I was finished with being his friend. I told him that the guy I was friends with checked out a long time ago, and left this thing I cannot stand it his place.
I told him the guy was him and he is not coming back ever and I am not going to watch him die.
I had to do that with my boyfriend as well. And he DID die. But I wasn't around to see it or care, since it was a decade later. So that is two friends I lost to alcohol by walking away.
I lost a lot more through death and hideous loss of life, but that is not the question and I am digressing.
That was about 20 years ago now. I have done that with other situations, but it has to be that dire before I shut down emotionally like that.
