sometimes, all you have to do is ask for something.
you can't expect people to understand with no offered explanation.
there's always a right and wrong way to go about things.
people that truly care about you would be willing to give you what you need,
but if they aren't asked for it, you can't expect them to just know.
being completely shut out of someones life with no explanation or notice whatsoever is extremely hurtful.
especially when the last words heard from said person were along the lines of,
'yeah, i've heard that all before. i'm done. bye.'
what would you expect us all to think?
and to say that you've cut off everyone from that part of your life would be a lie.
it's hard to look at this any other way than as a blatant personal attack.
you know that we are a very understanding group of people, between us, we've been through a shitstorm of the utmost rediculous.
we are never ones to judge, and you of all people should know that.
we knew your secrets, we loved you anyway, and we kept them.
so we weren't always the best at calling every day, but just like you are going through your rough spots, we are going through our own.
you can't ask for understanding and space, when you can't grant it yourself.
if the tables were turned, and you were completely cut off from someone with no explanation, no apology, no contact whatsoever, i'm sure your reaction would be just as bitter.
if not more so.
put yourself in someone elses shoes for once.
you had people that were willing to listen when you cried, people that did.
all you had to do was call.
people don't know you need help unless you ask for it, especially when you live 3000 miles away.
you can't say we never tried.
