How are you dear JJ? Right now, as you look back on Christmas Eve and New Year's, how are you doing? And any contact since you wrote this a few days ago?
It sounds as if you've really kept up with your friendly distancing. I think there was a time when this would have seemed almost impossible. So, you seem to have worked hard on your goal for some inner strength and more confidence. And the conversation about the blinds seems like it was really good.
And how is your mom? It sounds as if the last two weeks have been difficult. As I read your comments about A mentioning your parents, I agree that it is hard to know what exactly that means. It could mean he just doesn't want to feel guilty or is it possible that he feels safer talking with you, therefore safer talking about your parents? I admit, I do not know.
JJ - just wondering - do you still have a support system from your faith community?
My hugs are not as good as yours, but "big hug"! :o)
