26yrs is this the end

Kevc, I don’t really know what to say. I know this is hard. I am in it also. It seems as if your W is on a similar rollercoaster.

If I was getting little positives I’d acknowledge and validate her feelings, but stop short of anything that could be perceived as pursuing or needy. It is a fine line and I will probably fumble if I get a chance. I spent the entire V day with no contact.

If I do get a chance to go down this path with W, I’ll try and tell her I am still thinking about how the D impacts my feelings, that I have a different opinion about D being the answer to our problems, that I am not fighting the D, but I need to protect myself over the negative consequences.
