Bright, you are right. The time between contacts is getting longer and longer. There really isn't even a sitch anymore, just a big nothing. Last time he texted, well over a month ago now, it was a comment about the weather. I don't have a clue what he is doing or not doing. Sometimes I feel I should drop him a text but I don't.

Pud, thank you for the compliment and advice. I am feeling very stressed these days which is not good for the PMA. I am trying to deal with that by adjusting some of my habits, trying to reach a healthier frame of mind.

NLT , I caught you on your thread before my own. I would like to think that Skippy will eventually come out of the tunnel, for his own sake. Whether or not that means I will ever know is an entirely different question. We go through these long periods of nothing. He called me in November and I was not as enthusiastic as he expected. I haven't seen him in over a year now.

The last thread is in one hand and the scissors in the other, except I haven't cut yet.

Eric, very nice of you to stop by. Nope, different Portia. I never had children. I appreciate you description of being done. It makes so much sense! Like detaching. I didn't realize I was until I WAS, if that makes sense. Not a huge moment but a small part of the journey as a whole.

I have probably repeated myself a million times but I am try astonished at long it takes to heal. And that almost twenty months later, I still do want to hear from him.
