Man in love is dejected when rejected
She is going to have to tolerate the end of this long friendship, and you are going to have to tolerate this woman saying "no" to you.
Given your personal and mental health challenges, it would be wisest for you to see a therapist in order to find a way to process your hurt and anger in a way that is healthier for you.
Dear Amy: I just turned 76. I grew up poor. I studied and worked hard -- and now find myself with over $10 million.
I live simply, and none of my relatives know that I have this wealth.
I have one daughter, two grandchildren, and nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces/nephews. They are all wonderful people.
I send cards and gifts to them for birthdays and holidays. But everything is "one-way."
For my recent birthday I got a text from my daughter which said, "Happy Birthday," and nothing else from anyone. No cards or calls.
The closest lives 500 miles from me, so I rarely see any of them. If I call them and leave a message they rarely respond.
I lie awake at night pondering my estate. I could leave each $500,000, with more to my daughter and grandchildren. Or I could leave each $100 and give the rest to charities.
How much is good for them? How much might cause them to become lazy? If I leave them anything, they won't be able to say "Thanks" because I won't be here to hear it.
