Crazy Lesbian Writes to Dead Abby

DEAR ABBY: I am a lesbian who recently experienced heartbreak by falling in love with my mentor and boss. I didn't want it to happen, but it did. The time we spent together was a balance of bliss and fear. My heart and soul feel that she feels the same way about me. I left my job because my feelings for her became so overwhelming, I could no longer cope.

She knows how I feel about her, and she has shown interest in me in the past. She is not gay, but I do know of straight women who have fallen in love with one woman in their lives. We have a 15-year age difference. That doesn't matter to me. I'm absolutely crazy about her. I dream about our Victorian home together and a beautiful garden and life. I want nothing else but to make her happy for the rest of her life, make her breakfast every morning and beautiful dinners every night.

We are no longer communicating, upon her request. I want to heal my heart and live my life. It's so hard to let go of her, but I know I should. On the other hand, something tells me I should wait for her. How can I move forward and find the love I deserve in this life? -- CRUSHED IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR CRUSHED: If you really want to find the love you know you deserve, then you are going to have to find someone who is ready and willing to provide it. This person is not. She was interested in you only as a friend and an employee. Asking you to stop communicating with her was a strong message.

It may take time and even psychological counseling to help you disengage from your fantasy of an idealized life with this woman. But for the sake of your sanity, it's important that you try.

I’m trying to discern where the 15-year age gap lies. I’d assume the crazy, obsessed one is younger but the Victorian house delusion says otherwise.

It must be taking place at a real estate agency, likely in Decatur, Ga., where all sorts of delusional nonsense occurs.

I fell in love with my best friends (a female) boy friend. They had invited me into their lives. Then now have a restraining order out keeping me away. And I have lost my best friend since HS.

Does DL have any advice I love him so and I am sure he might feel the same way despite the restraining order,

Fuck Dear Abby this above is pure DL. This is real heartbreak and angst.

If it’s an enchanted evening one can indeed fall in love from across a crowded room. Meeting people knowing people having a real relationship is often overrated when it comes to love.

DEAD ABBY: My cousin asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding next month. Because we are not very close, and I've already booked travel arrangements for a vacation leaving that same morning, I turned her down. Now my parents and sister are angry at me for not putting family first. It would cost me a significant amount of money to reschedule, not to mention having all my plans overturned. Am I in the wrong? Is it selfish to put my own life ahead of family? -- PENSIVE IN PENSACOLA

DEAR PENSIVE: To put your problem into perspective, I'm FUCKING DEAD. You don't think I'd love to stand up in a tacky dress in a lame relative's wedding? I can't do that. I can't do FUCKING ANYTHING, because I'm DEAD. You're worried about this shit, meanwhile, I'll never again feel the joy of the sun on my face, or the touch of a loved one. Do what you want. I don't care! I'M DEAD!

It could be a twin flame connection. We want to let go of these people for so many reasons, but the connection is so strong. There is a chaser/runner dynamic that keeps the two people apart until "complete surrender." I was really into twin flame tarot readings for a while, I'm an expert...

I can’t wait for the Netflix film of this tale. They really will film anything so it’s a definite possibility.

Kristen Stewart would be magic as the unwashed, unhinged lesbian obsessed with her older boss/mentor. Michelle Pfeiffer would sizzle as her fatal fixation/victim.

Directed by Jodie Foster. Soundtrack by Joan Armatrading to class it up.

In one of the film’s more controversial scenes, Stewart’s character roofies Pfeiffer’s character’s daily Starbucks.

The latter awakens in a haze in her office chair to find Stewart’s character’s head between her legs, munching on her pussy, her face in ecstasy as she emerges looking like a glazed doughnut.

This is when contact is formally terminated.

And the terror begins.

Not to be outdone, Oprah - returning to her trashy, exploitative talk-show roots - is producing her own version.

“Little Mermaid” Halle Bailey breaks type as a crazed lesbian stalker with Angela Bassett as her maternal boss, who soon discovers there is more to her new employee than meets the eye.

“Girl…Just No!”

Directed by Ava Duvernay.
