Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Since they died, the whole ground I stood on is gone
• If a friend told me they’d blown off this exact thing I’d be gentle and kind to them in a heartbeat, yet to myself I’m brutal
• They handled the money, or the cooking, or were just the person I leaned on
• In my head the person who hurt me is just a villain, flat and monstrous, and that picture keeps my anger burning
• If a friend brought me this exact dilemma I’d know in two seconds what they should do, but stuck inside my own version I just go in circles
