I have a close friend who is the leader of the support group I go to. Friend and I had a bad fight about personal issues. When we have fights, he shuns me. Now he wants me to leave the support group. Should I just show up at the next meeting or leave the group and look for other supports?

Maybe you might look at some other support groups and leave this guy alone. I have to ask though:

1. What did you say to him to make him kick you out?
2. What did he do to get you mad at him?

I had a fight over our boundaries issues. I ranted at him angrily,

I asked him to stop stonewalling me and blowing me off. He half-apologizes tells me he'll stop doing it. Then I get upset with him about another thing and he's back to stonewalling.

This doesn't sound like a close friendship.
It just sounds like a lot of fighting.

You emerge again and again from the Ashes.

You look more gorgeous each time!
