It was hard – but I did get away. Clean break. No going back. Wonder now and then – but feel 100 pounds lighter. Thought I would feel guilty (like I do about everything else), but … actually… no. You know you yourself are drowning. I was not being her friend, even though I thought compassion, care and advice was doing just that. When my family had to be witness to her drama – THAT was enough!!
Thanks for blogging :)

What would you say if I told you that post made me laugh out loud to myself? I understand if you’d be miffed, but please know I don’t mean to laugh at you, I’m merely laughing at the entire situation from an outsiders POV. If I had been in your shoes, I would have donned the most unimpressed facial expression I could muster, and made Mr. fancy pants explain to me every last detail, and exactly what I needed to do in the next evaluation to ensure my passing, all the while glaring at him. I then would proceed to throw my chin high in the air and saunter off. PFFT. What good does he know anyway? That guy hasn’t had half the life experience and success you’ve had.

“Fearless inventory” has to be conducted without the opinions of others, and this is where I have always failed to go all the way in being honest with myself. I think guilt must play a big part in my willingness to take a look at how I really feel about that one friend who is constantly negative, constantly needing my help, constantly reminding me how I am the only one who is always there for her. I try to be positive, try to think that it will be my example that will help her see that she is in charge of her attitude regarding her dismal circumstances, but I always end up right down in the dumps with her. Your post reminds me that I am the one who continues to allow it, I ignore that sense of dread I feel every time I see her name on the caller i.d. because I feel guilty about what other people, especially her, will think of me when I am not doing all I can do to help out this poor friend who always seems to be at the end of her rope. When is it time to call it quits?!?? I guess it will be when I stop worrying about how I look to the rest of the world and follow the guidelines of my feeling “shitty” about every time I get that pitiful phone call. I’m not editing this, and I should, since I am a teacher by profession, for godssake, but you have really struck a chord here with the sense of charity that we are all taught is more virtuous than self-preservation. Enough already! I love reading your words, Jillian, love that sense of empowerment that your words ignite every time I read what is running through that witchy head of yours, and thank you again from all that is me for being the cheerleader you are. Your topics tap into the independent spirit we all yearn to live as without feeling guilty about the process we take to get there. Walking away is a simple way to say i love you…beautiful!!!

I know this “Sir Thomas” very well, he is a old friend of mine too. I already read your creative take on our old friend once before, but come back to it now when our friend sneaks in to visit me again and I can’t get rid of him…thought I should let you know that re-reading this makes me smile, and helps me take control of the situation. Thanks for sharing this “story!”

An AMAZING resume! An AMAZNG life! Mine is posted on my wall to remind me that “I can do it!” – no matter what “it” is. Hard to remember sometimes. I was right there with ya reliving the “impromptu cry-fest”. Hate that feeling. So glad when you can get back to the ‘top’ in your mind and put it in perspective! Go get ‘em!

Bravo, Jillian! I have followed your blog for over a year now, encouraged by your words and always more comfortable with myself after each and every post. Your positive tilt on even the most discouraging days of life is what keeps me reading. You are tireless in the adventure of life, and I can’t wait to read what you’ll do next! Thanks again!

You are a wise, wise sister, who has the most amazing people skills….that means that when you become that lady’s boss, she will never know that you remember how awful she was to you. And by the way….I miss you sister!
