Looks like the end

[Kettricken]

Fran, I was just thinking about you/missing your presence the other day. I was going to say I'm sorry it's come to this .... but also maybe not, you know? You sound like you're in a reasonably stable place with it all, somewhere in between "Oh God don't leave me I love you" and "Get the hell out".

((((((( Fran )))))))))

I tend to agree with you about "as if". It has its place but is of *limited* utility and can easily morph into avoidance and/or emotional dishonesty. IMHO.

Hang in there, lady .....
