Yes -- he had plenty of time to mentally do the detaching he needed to do to get there, which I was not involved in until the bomb dropped.

It's still bullsh*t.

Sorry, journaling and feeling bratty, today. These are things I've said/felt before.


I am kind of in that same place, though I am trying to move past it. I guess that is why I was so emotional yesterday. How can a person claim to love someone so deeply, then just become a different person overnight, seemingly? I think if we all could figure out how to reconcile that, we would be millionaires. Hugs to you, Little. You sound like you are doing well, despite these down turns.
