So, I continue to make the effort--still ignored. <BR/><BR/>So, I continue the best and only thing I know to do--pray.<BR/><BR/>How long do I pray--how long do pursue this?<BR/><BR/>P--pray<BR/>U--until<BR/>S--something<BR/>H--happens<BR/><BR/>That's how long!! Yes, it is an effort at times to pray for those who have spurned us, hurt us, ignored us, but I will continue.<BR/><BR/>And Kelly--in your comment above--I don't know what mental illness you're referring to--some don't know the difference between reality and unreality.<BR/><BR/>In the case of my ex-spouse--after living in the throes of drug addiction with him for many years, a lot of heartache, financial blows, violence and much more--I'm still praying for him. He is the father of my children, and I can do no more or no less.<BR/><BR/>The best and only thing I can do.<BR/><BR/>Bethsailorcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378552999540084798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400438293981397046.post-39069336884492941482008-12-10T14:24:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:24:00.000-08:00Is it possible to make peace with someone who is m...Is it possible to make peace with someone who is mentally ill? I don't think so. Or at least not in the case I am thinking of.<BR/><BR/>Even if I am willing not to bring up the "incident" again, if the other person continues too, my efforts are moot.<BR/><BR/>But I think these series you are doing is AWESOME and I am enjoying it very much. Learning alot too. Thank you.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.com
