Newcomer requesting advice

thanks orchid.

I really had thought that I was detaching well. I should have known that the growing anxiety I felt in the few days before the possibility of seeing him when I headed back into to town was an indication that I needed to stay dark at all costs. I wish I hadn't shown my vulnerability to him again.

I like your idea of moving far away (physically and emotionally) from their erratic behavior. I really was focused on that, then somehow got off track today. big time.

ah well. good night, thanks for your kind words and thoughts.
