Hi Kristin,

Hey there. I was glad to read your last few updates, because I've been wondering how you've been doing. I'm sorry the relationship hasn't improved. It's amazing how much patience and love you've shown her, even buying her childhood home, and it hasn't been enough for her to firmly choose one door or the other.

I'm glad you're finding the strength to end being treated this way, the strength to know you can be amazing on your own or with someone else. Such a long relationship--I get this isn't easy. It's easy in the abstract to say, "You shouldn't let yourself be treated that way", but so hard to let go of people we love.
