@amiablePeace77 How have your relationships grown or changed over the year?
Over the year - not a lot of change except no more game show watching which used to be a fun thing with partner but they are not into it anymore and I am so busy.
Over the years - mental health issues changed our relationship a great deal. I have become less obviously a partner sharing in activities and more a caregiver managing their needs and keeping the household running.

How have your relationships grown or changed over the year?
Tbh with you idk if my relationships have grown or changed over this year. Yes. That’s a very true answer. Is there any specific relationships you’re asking about?? Just thought I’d ask out of curiosity.
@amiablePeace77
Two professors who have helped me in the past have distanced themselves. I need them as references though so they'll both get a Christmas card.
@amiablePeace77
My relationships have deepened with my family and my friends.
And I have distanced myself from others who weren't showing me the same consideration 💖💜
@Amanda84
Glad you let go of those who do not feel supportive to you!
@amiablePeace77
Not much has changed. If changed any, it's not for the better.
@amiablePeace77
What with all my medical adventures, I have met a ton of new and kind people and somehow I have had also a lot of old friends reaching out way more often than they used to. They know that I am not about to kick the bucket tomorrow but they can't help hovering and reminiscing. At this point, I keep a phone schedule so I am not in a hostage situation :)
@Fradiga
Good that you do what feels helpful Fradiga. I hope we will still talk here in many years to come.
@amiablePeace77
From your keyboard to God's screen!
my relationship has grown over the year in a very beautiful way. we learned to forgive,to love each other the right way, we respect each other, make efforts and we are in a healthy relationship.
@8l1v1aA
That sounds wonderful!
@amiablePeace77
I learnt to distance myself from the ones keeping me from being myself, and be mindful about whom i spend my time with
@daydreammemories
It is mindful to be mindful with the choosing the people you mix with!
@amiablePeace77 I can say getting out of someones abuse but otherwise really I cant really answer this as I am very much a loner and often crash to myself
@eternalHero77
To get out of an abusive relationship takes a lot of strength and courage! Glad you were able to leave! Please don't forget that you're not alone, we are here for you!
@amiablePeace77 Thank you. One thing that also helps in addition to being here in cups is that when I was in program I leaned exactly what you stated I was not alone like I had thought for years. I witnessed and heard other peoples stories that showed me ok we may not have the same exact story and yet our feelings on things are similiar and thereby causes us to identify with one another. When I have a situation occur I might feel alone I will for a short while get down but thankfully for having the opportunity to be in a day program therapists taught us tools-tools we can use for everyday life so when those down times come I will first sort out why a situation is effecting me as it is then I will tell myself ok I will give this situation no more than 72 hours to try to figure things out then move on. Luckily I have been able to do just that. Between chattin’ here on cups as well as if need be going to the person who caused the situaton to work things out rather than obsess with worry and anger and getting myself sick over it. If person isnt willing to Chat and I know I did everything possible to resolve the situation I let the situation go. In some cases I have even let the person go out my life. The hardest ones to let go is my children when they do somethin’ I find it very hard to not keep trying and just let them go even if theres reason to.
@eternalHero77
Good that you find ways to deal with challenges instead of obsessing with worry and anger and getting yourself sick over them.
I believe the hardest thing for a parent is to let go of a child. I hope one day you will be reunited in peace.
Everyone who’s reading this I hope you have a wonderful day today!
