Easy to say BUT hard to do.

Hey man I know you are in a MUCH better place but detachment...

...the kind that REALLY lets her go is still yet to come. You know how I know?

Because you are still focused on what she is doing with Goober.

Look at Goober as a tool. <<<<That is a double entendre (sp?)

She thinks she needs him to fix what is wrong inside. She blames you for not doing it for her or inhibiting that what she believes.

While (and this may be a long time) she believes this she is of no use to the new CD. You could no more have a HEALHTY relationship with her than say ...

A large wooden badger. Actually the wooden badger is better than her right now.

Don't ask. Tell her you will forward her mail there. Not your business. Hers. Ask her what she wants you to do with the rest of the stuff.

Which of course...

They are.

You are on the right track my friend. The emotion behind the situation will diminish over time.

Don't worry. Until then just control it in front of her.

You got this. Keep steppin'


My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
