For those of you who have been through (or are going through) a break up...
This one's for you:
Susan J. Elliott, author of "Getting Past Your Break-up" posts wonderful advice, including this latest gem: A Letter to your Ex (otherwise known as Bananahead).
Dear Bananahead:
Have I you told you lately how much I love you and want to be with you? No? Well, here it is.
Even though you:
1) treat me like crap
2) ignore me
3) cheated on me
4) broke up with me for no reason
5) all the above
I am convinced that you are
1) such a catch/brass ring/prize
2) the greatest person in the universe
3) the light of my life
4) a wonderland
5) all the above
I am sure of this because:
1) I have no self-esteem
2) I am a raging codependent
3) I like to be mistreated
4) Damn, I like a good challenge!
5) All of the above
So true. I am embarrassed to say that could once have applied to me. For me it would have been:
Even though you:
- are still in love with your ex
- treat me like crap
- treat my family like crap
- neglect your daughter and havent paid child support in umpteen years
- believe the whole world is against you
- drink yourself into oblivion on a regular basis, and
- have unresolved mummy issues
I am convinced you are
- the sexiest man to ever wear Levis
- god's gift to women everywhere
- the funniest man to never have his own comedy show, and
- more charming (read manipulative) than James Bond
I am sure of this because
- I have unresolved daddy issues
- I have no self worth
- I figure if I just love you more you will change and finally, please, please love me back
- I have disowned my family for you and am scared to admit i was wrong and they were right all along,
- and I have no idea how I would ever survive without you....
