Oh - your poor friend. It does take you back, doesn't it? To that time when we were all feeling totally lost. Deserted. Fearful. Trying to get our exes to see the "error of their ways". Hmmm...

I think they don't look back once they've made that decision. I know that mine tried it once but no way could he ever face his demons or his mistakes. So he stayed with her - someone who would take him at his worst because of all the perks her came with. Pathetic, really.

I hope you were able to give her some comfort and assurance that she WILL be ok in time. Just as I did with you. And you have done so many times since.
