Ouch?!

I'm continually amazed at others' perception of me... maybe it is my ego, mayhap it's some primordial emotional protection device, could be just me. I read this and I'm shocked; I know I should be saddened, I just think it's one of those ebbs to the flows of relationships and it's what it is. Hostility is shocking, but not unheard of. Maybe I just can't conceptualize someone wanting me any further from their life.
that fact that you are IGNORING what I asked for and barging on in your typical "I'M DIANA AND I KNOW WHAT'S BETTER FOR YOU THAN YOU DO " fashion shows that you have no respect for what I need or want. you still see me as an idiot who can't possibly be making a correct or viable decision for herself.
Wrong assumption #1: on both our parts. I thought you didn't want to talk to me. Of course you would still want to know I am alive and happy, that I got to see the Doors!!! Not out of lack of respect for you, but for the very opposite. I still see you (NOT as the assumed idiot) as my best friend, someone with vested interest in my life.
When I ask for a break... I mean it. I don't need your phone calls or updates or e-mails, right now. I need a BREAK from Diana so I can see if you even can respect that!
Wrong assumption #2: That you were clear on this point. You are now, I got it. [see above for my assumption, which lead to this assumption]
which you obviously can't. you don't even have the good grace to be offended. for God sake Diana! don't you see you are proving to be the pushy, oblivious, self-important person that being stoned kept me from seeing all these years?
Wrong assumption #3: It's more like happy, fun, sunshiney person who wants to make you smile on days you can't find any other reason to... dunno, always felt like some kind of calling. Not a new trait, just a new judgement.
please try to see that what I need and have asked for isn't a whim or passing fancy but an attempt to change my life.
Wrong assumption #4: Actually, I'm taking this opportunity NOT to make assuptions about what this means.
please take me seriously. when you call and e-mail it makes me feel like you are ignoring my needs to exert your own, very powerful, will.
Wrong assumption #5: [mine] powerful will... the will to love is a strong one, it's not an easy one to beat down and hold within. I'm stronger than I know, I can remove myself from your life, not nearly as easily as you, and I can respect your need not to need me. Still don't understand the whole removal thing, but hey, someday I just might.
You are honored for who you are and where you are. You are loved for where you've been and what you've done. Thanks.
