AARRGGHH. Cat, I'm so sorry. This hurts (gross understatement), and it sucks, and unfortunately it's not surprising. Been there.

Your friend is right and you are dead on when you say you need to go dark. You have to. Let go and find healing without him.

Love you hon. Take care. I'm praying for you tonight.
