Anger stays with you as long as you hold it to you.

You need to find a safe hole to isolate it in (poke your head in there every so often to

make sure it's still simmering) and turn your back and start living again.

That sort of consuming pain will only stop you from starting afresh with someone who

may be the lady who'll open your beers and change the channel for you while you clip

the toenails she can't reach.

Your friend (like a friend of mine) is in the middle of Hellwars, where kids and anything

else is fair game to be used as a bludgeon on the other ex. This is a POISONED place

where your loyalty to your friend is doing you no favours and will eventually drown you.

Is there anything stopping you from going out, getting mildly pissed, drunk, shitfaced

or alcoholly challenged, meeting a nice girl/boy/1977 Monaro (car) and having some

short term, mutually satisfying fun?
