W sent me some very angry emails yesterday morning, and I've just decided to not respond anymore. I spent an hour typing a detailed reply to one, and then right before I sent it I thought: what's the point. It was a good feeling to just release this. I still have the arguing points running around in my mind, and I chase them away with other thoughts. But I think not having a NEED to respond to her is great.
Agreed. the longest time, I would type such email responses, putting myself down as the addressee, just in case I impetuously or angrily hauled off and hit the "send" key before thinking it through.
