Journal entry

Well when life hits you between the eyes, it hits you hard. On Friday I was fired from my job. Needless to say this came as a complete surprise to me and was caught completely off guard. Feels like I got the bomb dropped on me again. So basically I have 4 months to find another job before I am unemployed.

And then I get his with this text message from my W whom I have been NC with for over a month.

W - "I heard about your job...Don't really know whats going on but I pray you find a job that appreciates you. You are a good coach and in my opinion they messed up. Best of luck."

I have not responded. When I received the message I didn't know whether to cry, scream and yell, throw my phone or contact her back. The harsh reality of her telling me best of luck hit me hard. But as my DB coach, Denise, told me, maybe there is some positives from the message. Those are hard for me to see. Maybe she still does care or at least have some feelings somewhere. Denise told me to understand it was probably hard for her to send that message, but I as I told her, I am not sure about that. I hope there is some positives to it but I am not having any expectations.

My question to the board is this, do I reply? How do I reply? Its our niece birthday tomorrow as well.

I was doing much better with my detachment until she text me, now it seems like I am at a crossroads again.
