Cross country DB with WAS

[Anders]

db,

I've had some medical stuff going on with my D17 and haven't had much time to spare for anything lately. Sorry I've been AWOL.

Betsey

Sorry to hear about your D Betsey and hope she is doing well now.

db,

Okay, since you said a couple days ago that you're learning how not to hide behind the cloak of indifference. How did you handle this conversation yesterday with that in mind?

Betsey

Thanks for dropping in to give me your very welcomed perspective.

She asked a very direct question: "What do you think about this(that we tried everything we could but it just didn't work and about us moving forward with making the separation public)".

I had to take a moment here. I didn't want to plead and reason with her why I think she is wrong. But I also didn't want her to think I was in complete agreement with her. I said to her: " I can see where you are coming from on this. I am not going to try to convince you to change your mind but I am in a different place than where you are right now".

She didn't say anything to that.
