On My Own Entirely

For those of you who don't know (and I think Becca and Manda are the only ones who do know), I have just recently moved (again). Not in the apartment anymore.

Ewww. I was hopin this was going to be solved back around the rafting time. One of those things you hear about too often but still has to be something 100 times as shocking to see it first hand.

People get caught up in this kinda thing and I don't believe there is a thing you can really do for them until they make up their mind that "yes" they really do need help. I think you would prolly just be putting yourself into danger if you tried to make any moves yourself right now. Personally I think I would let the friend know that yes you are their friend, but what they are involved in isnt healthy for them or anyone around them. Love was not made to bring pain, therefore it isn't love that he has for her. Then believe I would let it be known that I would be going, but would be there to find them some real help if they ever decided they really needed it. And by help I mean getting her into contact with professionals.

But it's like being the police... you really can't do anything until the victim gives you the power. And I believe that includes the power to just be a friend. Until then, we have our prayers.

As for you, I'm glad you are out of there and safe :)
