This is YOU again.

You do not control this. Let it go.

The first one you have no control over except that she loved you once and if she sees that man or the good parts of that man you have a shot at her maybe seeing you differently in the future.

The second with your parents, you do have control over and the details of which don't matter but perhaps does your W feel like you sided with your parents? Or that you allow them to interfere?

The most remarkabable thing about all this tragedy is that it does make us look at our life. And ourselves if we care to.

A question for you.

Why did you allow your parents to interfere in your M?


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