Having a hard time... II

[what next?]

Had a text exchange with her (I tried to call but she didn't answer so I texted her a while later.)

M: "Hey, came by to get that check but you weren't there... let me know when you get home. I was hoping to get it deposited for you this morning but if you won't be there that's fine. just let me know

W: I'll text you when I'm back so you can get it. You got another letter from the IRS for (my old company), too.

M: I sent that stuff to my accountant. Was hoping he had taken care of it. Guess I might need to find someone else to handle it. Pretty frustrating lol

W: Yeah, sorry, [censored].

............

before this conversation would have actually frustrated me. I would have thought "you think this [censored]???? this is NOTHING compared to what REALLY [censored]" lol

but instead I am able to see it as a positive interaction where she showed sympathy for my situation. DB'ing gave me that!
