Got me to thinking C backed off big time with you, right? Looks like I'm now in that same position. I guess we just need to give them time and space to think.
On opposite end of the spectrum, too, is the possibility that when he crashes, he/she will shove to the side what he's/she's done, and run even farther away. That can happen, too, as it is HARD to face things that have been done, and facing ones self is the hardest of all things to do.
I believe that is now my H! As he has run and left ALL of us. Bury himself and hiding himself in a new life. This way he doesn't have to look at us and feel the guilt.
I think maybe I should leave H alone to think. This is his journey not "our" journey! How sad!
