love, rosie 153I need to know that the little bit of love I feel for him right now will growagain, back to the way it was. The one thing that’s making me so muchstronger is the fact that I know that he won’t do this to me again. We’ve hadtoo many long nights of tears and fights for either of us to want to gothrough it again.If Alex lived in this country I would know what to do. All I need isbackup. He’s the little angel that sits on my shoulder whispering in my ear,“You can do it!” It’s funny. I’m thirty years old now and I still feel like a littlegirl. I’m still looking around to check and see what other people are doingto make sure I’m not completely different; I’m still looking around for help,hoping for a quick nudge and a whisper of advice. But I can’t seem to be ableto catch anybody’s eye. Nobody else around me seems to be looking aroundand wondering what to do. Why is it that I feel like I’m the only person whois confused and concerned about the choices I’ve made and where I’mheaded? Everywhere I look, I see people just getting on with it. Maybe Ishould just follow suit and get on with it.Love,RosieDear Rosie,Please do not torture yourself with questions that you don’t know theanswers to. You are going through a really difficult time right now but youare getting on with it, and you do it time and time again. Every knock backmakes you stronger.I can’t tell you whether to stay with Greg or not, only you can make thatdecision, but all I can say is that if there’s any love there at all then youshould work at it. Every small thing grows when you nurture it, Rosie. Loveis just the same. But if that is making you miserable then leave and find somethingelse that brings you the happiness you deserve to feel.Just listen to what your heart is saying and go with your gut instinct and itwill lead you the right way. I’m sorry I have no great words of wisdom for you,Rosie, but at least you know that you’re not alone; other people don’t have allthe answers to the questions. Sometimes we’re all just as confused as you are.
