Oh Time, sweetie, hugs to you and I'm so sorry to hear what's happening. Let it out. Although I'm sure it doesn't feel like it now, I think crying and feeling sad are signs of inner strength, not weakness. Just my humble opinion - it's a strong person who can allow themself to confront pain by feeling it - with tears, anger and whatever else is inside. This fact shows you will work through it and come out renewed on the other side of it.

Or so he perceives. I think he's wrong. I think he'll be just as unhappy because he hasn't dealt with his own issues yet - the things that are truly making him unhappy. Remember - no one can cause another person's unhappiness.

See? There's that inner strength shining through! Good for you! I admire what composure you have in such a stressful time. Stay well friend - I'm so sorry again to hear what a rough time you're having. I'll check in on you again later. PG.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
