Thank you so much for the revision. Although I like the tone and it very much fits in with who I am... that feels a little too friendly for me.
There is this growing part of me that has no desire to be that friendly with her. No desire to see if she is well and no desire to tell her what I am up to.
I don't feel these feelings are stemming from anger.. just me accepting her decision to cut me out of her life. It is very uncomfortable for me to keep it strictly business but that's how I keep myself in the reality of the situation.
And just as her actions speak her truth about how I am no longer in her life, my actions need to speak MY truth...
... which Gritter so eloquently put on Autumn' thread:
"There is no failure for you in not being with someone who doesn't value what you know to be the truth.
Who acts consistently outside of love.
Who shows you nothing of your own compassion.
Who is an opposite reflection of you."
Does that mean that I will be cold as ice... no..
but cordial is as far as I will go with her.

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
