Quarter Life Crisis?

[flgurl84]

Well another tragedy has hit my family.

My sister in laws ex was found dead in his house last Sunday. He was in his early 40s.

She dated him for about 3 years, they lived together, were engaged at one point. Then broke up just this summer.

We all really liked him, and in fact, he had just texted Boo, sort of an olive branch, inviting him to go fishing. Then this.

Since I am not on speaking terms with my SIL, I have not contacted her. I feel awful, and can't imagine what she is going through. She initiated the break up, so I am sure she feels very guilty. They think he was drinking heavily. He was an alcoholic.

I am ready for an upswing. Some happy times, good things. I do not understand why this happened. Maybe this will force SIL to go on her journey. She is 28. She has jumped into a relationship with Boo's best friend (Boo and I and most of the family feel like she "stole" him from us) and now they are moving in together

But, this is not my battle, not my journey. This is an awful tragedy.

Just before this, I sent my email to Boo.

I had been writing it for about a month. I have read it about a million times.

Before my DB coaching session, I sent it.

I will post it. I want others to read it. I think it was really good, mature, polite and ME. I feel good about it. Maybe it isn't DBing, but I had to get my feelings out.

Take a read...
