Yes, it will be over. You are having a bad night because you know you will have to deal with X tomorrow. It is normal. You are OK.

Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone gets some things right.

You are doing very well these days, just circling back a bit, but the circle is much smaller. It won't be much of a dent. You'll see.

In the meantime, quit dumping on yourself and fine a truer narrative. You are a strong, loving, intelligent, talented, compassionate woman that was in a marriage that didn't work very well. That is not uncommon. It certainly doesn't make for a "forever wrong."

So, stop the self-indulgent self-berating. Give yourself a big hug and drect some of your compassion and strength toward taking care of the scared freaking-out Donna. Can't you see why she hurts so much? Give her comfort.


Best,
Oldtimer
