"I am at a point in my journey where I just do not know if I could ever look at him the same way again, even if he did want to reconnect. I likely would not be here if it wasn't for the silence on his end. When we were in constant contact, I was a bundle of nerves and emotion.

Time has gone by so quickly over the past year. Faster than I ever thought it would. And here I am.

You know, if he does contact me, I might just fall off my chair! I am so not expecting to hear from him. I am strangely at peace with that."


You are doing great Portia. This is such a difficult time for you. You must have felt so neglected and abandoned, but you sound really strong now. I'm proud of you, proud to be able to call you my friend, and hope to be able to "let it go" like you have. If your SO does ever contact you again (and I am one of the believers like Bright, that he will wake up and want you back some day!), but when that day comes, we'll get rH to sew you a seatbelt for your chair!
