Well, you are a better woman than I am, Painter. I'm not sure I could have handled those conversations

Just today I was talking about how not hearing a word from H in weeks has been a good thing for me. I know that whenever there is contact again that it will be extremely difficult, so I am just taking every day without contact and trying to get myself into a better, more resilient place.

You, my dear, are knee deep in it and you are hanging in there. Amazing.

I hope that today has brought some relief from the tears and pain, and that you get some good quality sleep tonight.
