You have some amazing, strong insights into not only my situation, but everyone else on here. It always astonishes me how much you "get" people without even seeing them face to face.
Listen, I don't know what kind of career moves you have in mind in this new stage of your life coming up..... but I think you'd be well-suited to be in this line of work, listening, validating, and asking the thought-provoking questions. As our British friends on here like to say, "Spot on, old chap!"- although I'd paraphrase it to "Spot on, young lady!" smile
I'm going to do some thinking about all you've said above, and so help me, I'm going to figure out the whole quoting, then responding thing. It makes it so easy to follow along and respond to each thing.

Anyway.... hang in there, 25. In some ways, I hate that your helping on here forces you to drag up such painful areas in your own past, but then again, surely there's healing to be found in that. And I close with this cute thing my sister just texted me.....

No texts? I understand.
No calls? I understand.
No time for me? I understand.
When you see me with someone else, I hope you understand.
