Ugh, FOBD... painful. I am sorry that you W has not been calling you, but like you said, you saw that from a million miles away. Thing is, what she's looking for, what she's escaping to probably doesn't exist. When people get to this stage, what they are trying to escape from usually is living within themselves. She can't escape herself. It might take her a long time to figure that out.

FOBD, do you want kids? Why didn't you decide to have kids? That a baby is saving you is a beautiful thing! I can go on and on about how my nephew saved me and my family. I understand, believe me, I understand.

So... you are now talking D. Can we walk through how you are landing here? You said that you believe your old W is dead. Do you really think this? Is your gut telling you something about this that you haven't shared? Are you giving up? Do you believe that there are better things out there to explore? Obviously, there are no wrong answers to any of these questions, I'm just looking for where you head is. Obviously, I make no judgments because as you can tell on my thread, I'm pulling away also. But I'm just wondering why.

Listen, you did great with your W. I'm glad that you got out of there. I'm glad you spent time with friends and family. I'm mostly glad that you took control and did what you wanted. Whatever you decide to do, of course, we are all here to support YOU. You have been a great friend to so many of us.

Take care. BITS (well, sister)
