Feb. 3, 2005 I know this girl, she's a pretty good friend of mine, and in general she is a good person. However, I worry about her, and not many people do. This girl has had her heart trampled on by every person who she has come in contact with. I don't know if she has one person who she can call family or friend. Now, she has alot of family and she has alot of friends, but when it comes down to it, I don't think one of them has actually ever been there for her. And everything that is done to her and said to her, and thrown her way, she just takes in and swallows it down so she doesn't upset anyone or have anyone get mad at her. I fear one day she is going to snap. I truly believe that one person can only take so much before she has to speak up and say her peace, but she doesn't... ever. Her mother and her don't get along, in fact they don't even talk anymore. Apparently, her mother's quest to "find herself" meant that she was no longer a necessary figure in her mother's life. Her father is moving to a place where he isn't allowed to talk to her, thanks to her "loving" uncle. All the people that have depended on her have left her when she needed to depend on them. Not one friend or relative stood up when she cried for help. Why is this? How could one person who tries so hard to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy, be so sad and unsure all the time? Why would she surround herself with people like this? And why would these people treat her in such a way? I don't know what advice to give her. In fact, on the rare occasions when I get to sit down and talk to her, I'm usually at a loss on what to say. I try to tell her to just separate herself from these people, to get away and start anew, but she won't. She insists that good karma will come her way and things will improve. I tell her to speak up and say what she feels, but she says that she doesn't want to burn bridges. I think she's spent so much of her life trying to be apologetic and nice and kind that she forgot what is most important. I know this girl. And I fear for her. One day someone or something is going to be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and I don't want to be there when it happens. But I hope someone is there when it's all done. ------------ About the author L.J. Chapman: I am a mother of two kids. I run a freelance business online, called LJC Freelance Inc.
