Personal Perspective: People shouldn’t be treated as if they don’t exist.
Setting clear boundaries early on can make relationships easier to navigate.Let’s say there really is some sort of Judgment Day when our good and bad deeds are weighed in the balance. Do any of us really believe we’ll be damned? Why is it everyone secretly thinks they’ll pass? Maybe I’m in the minority, but I’m not so sure about my own prospects.
I had a dear friend once—I’ll call her Jeanine—who seemed to be on the exact same wavelength as me. She cheered on my victories without getting; she commiserated with my miseries, and vice versa. We talked on the phone almost every day, long conversations about exquisite minutia: “I’m going to the dentist today.” “The trash guys forgot to pick up my recycling bin.” Who cared about such silly things in someone else’s life? We did immensely.
So I didn’t pick up the next time she phoned; I didn’t return her frequent texts. I just stopped responding, the way Jeanine had with me. I hoped Delilah would get the unspoken message, but she didn’t. Her calls and texts just piled up into a big, nasty tower ofI tried hard to reconcile my conduct with myself. I thought: I fight every day to stay sane and sober and avoid anything that might destabilize me. Finances are a big trigger, and Delilah doesn’t respect that.
