Hope is definately a good thing, and I think that was an excellent point you made, Johanna, that Cloud's wife may also need to be reassured that he can still see her in his life.
I guess my suggestion of C9 staying focused on what his wife is saying rather than focusing on his feelings is because she may not feel heard... she may interpret that as him justifying cause and action, rather than as a validation of her feelings. And whereas I think C9 is completely valid in all that he feels, he has already made a definite statement on his feelings by leaving.
I was just suggesting that he give her a turn to let out all those feelings she has kept bottled up out of her system. Doesn't mean you can't tell her you love her and can still see her in your life, though.
How are you doing, Jo? How did H respond to you leaving? Are you hanging in there?
