Friendships

[Guest guest]

I have been reading all of your posts and remembering a time in my

life when I felt that I was always the " mother " of my group of

friends, the one who they always came to for advice, a good cry, or

a favor. At one point, I got really tired of that role, but never

had the confidence in my friendships to speak up about it. Then I

was given a gift in a very " silver lining " . I tore my ankle up and,

long story short, spent over two years working to get my ability to

walk again. During that time, my friends cooked meals, cleaned my

house, took me out in the wheelchair to lunch and shopping, called

me regularly and one dear friend even went so far as to pack and

clean my house when we moved! What I learned was that before the

accident they never saw that I might be the " needy " one. Before fate

proved it to them (and me), they always thought I was the super

strong leader type. And had the accident not happened and forced me

to accept some help, I probably would have went on forever letting

them think I could handle all our problems and secretly resenting

them for it. Maybe, because we with CMT have always had to be

strong to survive, we forget how to let someone help us. Or maybe,

for me at least, we don't feel that we are worthy of having someone

take care of our needs. Even though that was a really hard time in

my life I received two really great gifts - one the ability to walk

again which I will never take for granted, and two - the ability to

let someone see inside of me; the soft spot that isn't always so

tough. I moved away from those girls over two years ago and we

don't see each other much anymore, but they will always be my

special friends who ultimately taught me how to be a real friend.
