Wow, 4311. That was a really good post. I love the insight into your consideration regarding X1. Truly an A+ on that.
On both X1 and X2, competing commitments. How to resolve or reconcile those?
By leaving them alone, you are rescuing them. By trying to reconnect and reconcile with them, you are self serving...
What to do... what to do...?
So it begins... within you...
You are trapped, aren't you? Your course laid out for you and you are out of control. The only thing you feel you can do is take the bull by the horn, look at the direction you are headed, and start driving that puppy... Get back in control...
In the mean time, knowing full well that it isn't the direction you wanted to choose... knowing full well that it is the direction that you DID choose...
Which leads back to trusting others...
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "not at all" and 10 being "absolutely and completely"... where would you put your trust in others?
