Coach and others, I've been thinking more about my response to W. Was thinking of thanking her for letting me know and tell her that I understand this must have been a difficult thing for her to tell me. Tell her I know there was no easy way for her to tell me this and I appreciate her letting me know first. Then conclude by saying that either way she wants to send me the papers is fine.
Or...just go with saying that "Either way is fine."
Thoughts?
Under a very trying time I could use this as an opportunity to validate and show love and compassion. Does this make me too weak to her or does it relieve some stress from her? I seriously think it would be a shock to her if I responded to her as outlined above. I'm sure she's expecting me to be angry or plead again. Do something different?
