Sister: It sure was hard. Glad to hear you’re doing ok. I agree with bomb. Cutting all emotional ties is the only way to deal with an abuser. After dropping that friend, I hated her. Believe me, it’s so draining wasting your emotions on somebody who abused you. Cutting ALL emotional ties was my only solution. As of now, I rarely think about her, and don’t care about her (you may think it’s cruel, but this is the only way I can lead a normal life now). Hatzlacha!
“What about Project Chazon (Rabbi Mechanic’s thing),”
Never heard any of it, but why not give it a try? Or perhaps you can contact Rabbi Z. Wallerstien. Good luck.
