Oops. Well, last night I realized how numb I've become. I came home from work to 10 messages in my facebook inbox from my ex-friend(of 7 years)'s friends. They all were hate mail. Honestly, dude, drop me all you want. At this point, I don't care. But do you have to continue torturing me? Geez. And my nii-san would be the only one who could actually understand my emotions right now, but he can't handle them anymore, which just makes the little emotions I have all the more conflicting.
So I'll start by griping about that. I was talking to my lesbian aunt out in Cali last night, explaining the situation to her(because my therapist that I'm seeing today is not at all helpful). She told me that I gave my nii-san too much power in the relationship. I know this. I realize this. When we establish contact in the future, depending on whether I ever get my emotions back, that will determine if it happens again. Right now I'm really disappointed in him. If my emotions were too much to handle, he should have told me. Seriously he should have. I could have vented to one of my sisters instead of him, then given him the summary. he didn't have to abandon me completely. I don't think he's cruel enough to completely abandon me forever. honestly, i half expect him to contact me before I contact him again. And if he does, I'll completely ignore the entire situation and ask him how his day was. and when he tries to apologize, I'll accept it and explain that its not necessary. Because its not. I can't blame him for him being him.
If he is doing this as a way to protect me from him, first of all, thats so much bullsh*t. I'm a big girl. I can handle myself. You don't have to back me into a corner because you're a man and don't like emotions. Don't pull an Edward Cullen, nii-san. That makes me Bella and you know how much I despise her :P I was going to contact my nii-san in august. I still might. I don't know though. It all depends on how much ex-friend pisses me off. Because if this harrassment continues, i'm going to inform my nii-san of it. He'll ignore it, but I'm hoping he'll make it stop.
More advice from my lesbian aunt: if my nii-san really cared about me, he wouldn't have completely abandoned me. he would have just taken a step back. no matter how emotional I had gotten, he would have ignored it. She also thinks that he is being too lax in figuring out who he is. She suggested that I fly out there, smack him upside the head, apologize, then force him to talk. Now I'm not that crazy. Ask me again in a year, but for now, I'll give him the space he apparently needed.
I've lost 10 pounds because I've stopped eating. Oops. I'm too worried about my nii-san. About how this affects him. The darkest parts of my mind says that it didn't affect him at all. I'm tempted to believe them. But the majority of my mind disagrees. My soul disagrees. Why would I be in so much pain if he wasn't affected?
I haven't thought about killing myself yet, so that's good. I take that as a sign that I'm meant to live and see what happens with this situation.
I also decided to contact my nii-san every six months of so, until he is ready to accept me back into his life. If I have to do it in person, then I will. Doesn't bother me. If he doesn't want to deal with that, I suggest he send me some kind of sign that he's ok.
My gami, who I adore with all of my heart, suggested I contact my ex-friend and my brother via a fake facebook. I already did that and it got me nowhere. Not that I expected it too. My ex-friend is very wimpy and I half-expect to wake up to a knife above my throat one night because his not-so-stable friend is trying to protect him. My nii-san I have no idea about.
I feel very used. He kept me around when his life was in shambles, then gave me up when it was perfect. Thats pretty selfish. And he never bothered to apologize for that. I just worry that when he hits trouble, he'll be alone. Like he has been for years. I don't want him to suffer alone. Thats not right.
So if you need me, nii-san, contact me. Please. Don't even debate on whether you should or not. Just do it.
Anyway, back to my sisters. My baby and alli-chan are very worried about me. when I was chatting with them last night, apparently I sounded distant. REviewing the messages, I agree. But when I can't feel anything, there is not much that can be done about that.
I do feel one thing - lost. So very lost. Because I'm not sure how to fix things. My nii-san and I had been repaired and things were going great and I have no idea how we got to this point. Honestly, I'm stumped. I just want to be happy again. To smile again. If I have to shut off my emotions for years, then I will do just that.
I feel like I have so much more to say, but our time is running out. I have other things to deal with. I know in my gut that in the end, things will be fine. I will manage to work things out with my brother and ex-friend. So I'll trust my gut.
What do you guys think I should do?
