I mean, I wrote it to S7, but it's on H's phone so obviously H is privy to anything I write. I don't want to inadvertently damage his self-esteem even more. BUT, he has OW. He left our family. There's a part of me that WANTS him to know I'm not only capable of moving on ... but I AM moving on.

Right? Or no?



It's not your job to fix him, Train. CERTAINLY not now, while he's wayward!

Date or don't date, but do it from a standpoint of:

a) is this authentic to me, morally and ethically; and

b) will it be effective (warning: it often IS)

. . . and nothing more.
