If you don't see what a big person you are for that, I don't know what the fuck to tell you.I love you so much for saying that!! You are actually the first person outside my Mom and Dad who has read that letter.. so it feels so good to hear you say that. I am really proud of that letter. It took alot out of me. And I knew that even though I could have told him exactly why I couldn't talk to him.. I felt it was better to just say that I was scared and leave it at that. My Dad is a very hard person to talk to so I knew I was walking on shaky ground. I couldn't say a thing that may feel to him like I was attacking him in any way. Which was tough believe it or not. Sometimes it is like walking on eggshells with him

It's so much harder that you can't be sure she took it. I think I would probably tell her about the money and how you're upset about it without insinuating anything about your suspicions. Just to get it out there. But then you'll have to deal with her sympathy which may be fake. But hey, maybe she'll offer to treat you to a meal on your own money. [GROANS] Nevermind.

It is wonderful to hear that things have truly gotten better between you and your Dad. That is such a powerful letter, I can not imagine anyone not being moved. *tight hugs*

I agree with Susan, you describe what the docs call disassociation very well. I do it so often I forget that not everyone does and that it is not always the healthiest thing to do. I do know that it is not always the easiest thing to come out of. People who don't do it have a very hard time understanding it.

If you want to confront your friend with out actually confronting her, while giving her a way out, you could ask if she has seen or if you could look under her passenger seat for some money you lost while you two were on the way home from dinner. It may sound subversive but it might get your money back. Some people who do things like that will suddenly 'remember' they found your money and were meaning to return it.

I have been doing the disassociation thing for so long nad so often.. I foregt sometimes what it is like to live in the real world. I tried my best to explain it. But it's tough. At least my Dad is trying. That is all I can really ask for

I am sorry. For some reason I thought it had been their car. Talk about assumptions being wrong and bad, and this is just why I try not to make them. Sorry about that. It was a horrible thing for her to do. I can honestly say that I have been screwed over by most of my closest friends. =/ It's sad and I wish it had not happened. I am sorry that you still have to deal with her. That really does suck.
