People keep telling me to stop caring. He is not worth it, and he will only keep hurting me over and over and over. I'm probably really stupid when it comes to this, but I can't stop caring. Yes, Raymond is an a*****e and so am I. We hurt eachother physically, mentally, and emotionally. So we're both evenly matched wether he likes it or not.
There's a lot I know about Raymond and he knows a lot about me. It feels like he is exploiting my weaknesses for his own pleasure. But there is such a thing as karma. It will bite you in the a** one day. I know it bit mine. I hurt you, and you broke up with me. I went to jail because of what I have done, and it came around alright.
Not once did I ever see a "I'm sorry Tina" in all of this. I do deserve an apology for him hurting me as badly as he did. Lying to my face before he left. Continuing to do so when he is in Arkansas. I kept apologizing to him from the moment I got out of jail to the moment he left the house. And I meant every word of it. Still do.
I'm not guilting you into anything Raymond. Maybe you'll open your eyes and see that. I've always been there for you as much as I could. I saw the real you, the nice person hidden under all that controversy. You've been hurt so many times by other people, and me, and that was the exact opposite of what I wanted to do for you. I don't know why I did those things, perhaps I was pushed way too far. But I did them anyway and I would take them back if I could. You just don't see that.
You also can't expect me to send you money when you already owe me a lot. It was nice of you to bring up, but Raymond you do understand that you just broke up with me, after lying to me several times and you expect me to be happy and give you money I don't even have? I only have ten dollars, and I am saving that for expo.
If you talk to me, of course I will be bitter and upset. Thats all I CAN be right now. Now if the tables were turned, you would be hurting as much as me. Maybe more. People have also told me that I am way out of your league. Maybe they're right, but I see you as an equal, still. Even though my trust in you is no longer there. Once you pay me off for the ticket, my trust in you will probably be re-established somewhat. It will show me that you're making steps in the right direction.
I know you're hurting too, but perhaps for other reasons. Since I doubt you actually miss me or feel bad about breaking my heart. So stop being the Raymond everyone sees you as and be the Raymond I saw you to be.

I didn't think I would bring this up, but I'm feeling really crummy right now, so I think I will anyways:
Raymond is reminding me more and more of Brandon eek
((That comment speaks for itself where Tina is concerned))
I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, Tina.
And I'm not going to tell you not to let it hurt. It hurts. What are you supposed to do about it?
I'm not going to tell you to get over him. That's the tough-girl talking. And I'm not a tough-girl. I also have no experience to know how you feel right now.
All I'm going to tell you is this: He does not have to control your life: directly or indirectly.
You can be yourself no matter what anyone else says or does.
And I hope I can help you get through this.
