I agree about the Uncle part- the fact is though it is very emotional for me and I am not yet able to separate those emotions from the thoughts or wants of an intact family. Meaning I would want to share those emotions and allow her to be there for me- but that is not what she wants to do...she's walking out the door.

I let the silence prevail after stating my claim about the friendship- I def see the potential or definite perspective of it being childish- again though it's the truth. She's not a friend to me. I would be willing to be a friend to her- as I still care for her- but it's not returned I do want her to know the losses she will have- I need her to feel it as well.

I appreciate the input. I like the advice about starting sentences w/ her name- I was in the habit of doing that in our last interactions-

Over all I think it was very civil, I just wanted her to know that I am no longer the one gazing deep into her eyes or bighting my tongue to keep from begging or R talk.

I do feel distant- and she knows everything I have to say, have said, or ever could say- so I have nothing to say now.
