Hi Jeff.. thanks for your post, I dont know what it is, but its always comforting to hear from you !!

Yeah..alianalysis, going over it. Latest one is, I'm jealous that he has got it all laid our for him.. the mates, the career (I helped him get, in fact, was instrumental in it!) the gf, he's moving to a shared house in Jan in a party village by the beach, lots of 30 somethings live there, his mate knows everyone, is dead popular, lots of beach partiess.. GRR! Even if he wasnt with Helen, his life will be full and fun I am sure.

And yet.. he is unhappy and says things like "whats the point of it all" !? So not all roses !!

No word, thats 3 weeks tommorow. Guess it had to 'end' someday, the contact we were having, if he's with her. he doesnt seem to have kept contact like Lisa's H, I am sure he doesnt want to rock the boat with her.

So today.. I got a letter from his mother !!! I was shocked, I half expected a christmas card, but not a handwritten letter inside. She didnt say much, polite, asked me lots about my future plans with college/work (!??) and then thanked me for going to see her in the hospital.. (that was in July!). My BFF thinks she might be feeling guilty for being a bit cr*p and unsupportive since he left me, my Mum said well she must be thinking of you, maybe she misses you? I wonder if she knows about Helen!?? No idea !!

Wierd, my ex isnt contacting me, but his mother is (which is touching). I will write back to her.
