I agree frank_d. I too remember FIB's phone calls asking if he was doing the "right" thing - as if there was such. I talked long about how this was not all his fault. Some yes, but not all. What he was responsible for - learn and use for growth. What he was not responsible for - let go.

Easier said. Somehow I always beat myself up for my breakup. I did and still do. It is hard. Yes FIB, things will get better and in some ways worse. I just want you to share my emotions so when the dips in the road appear - well I was there ahead of you. As others were.
Frank_d, you pointed out to me many times about my anger and I to you. Only now, eons later that I realize that I was angry at ME and took it out on others. And I "saw" anger in you when there was none really. I have some of that anger still even after all this time.
I don't want FIB to be angry at FIB. I think he is past that but anger is a hard thing to shake loose of.
"That was a lifetime ago for all of us.". True, but it seems like yesterday.
