I suppose one other thought worth mentioning. Sadness is part of the ride and should not be avoided. You are mourning something special. She is too. It makes people nutty in its own way have you noticed.
With regards to the family comment? I don't think she did plan to leave the family. I don't think planning had a lot to do with the urge to run away and hide (like a child would right?) I think it is appropriate to either not respond or to mention, as was said, that they are responsible for their own feelings just like all of us. They have theirs as she has hers and she should show the same respect of their feelings that she wants for hers. But you in no way influence nor control their feelings just as you don't hers.
My take is that she is trying to play the victim (normal behavior based on the situation if you ask me). I don't think that's right since she is not the victim; they were her choices.
My thoughts.
Is it Friday yet? AJ
