Having a hard time... II

[what next?]

Yeah your sitch has really inspired me to initiate more contact (keeping it light of course) I have been so intimidated by the idea of engauging her because I'm afraid I will bow it. But seeing how well you have done has made me ready to take the plunge and see if we can start to be friends.

Her actions would destroy me before. When she talked to me like everything was normal in her world I would get so hurt. But realizing that they are either putting up a front to us or just not facing reality means that I can accept it much easier. Knowing that reality is just under the surface for her means that I can interact with the defensive her and not feel so hurt.

I wish I had understood this earlier but I am greatful that I'm getting there now.
