Yes, my hope doesn't help me detach.

It bothers me because being kind is one of my values. Being kind was one of our bonds.....

She's kind too, it's in her nature....I can't imagine her ever being different.


There is nothing unkind about being short, business like, and to the point. This is your NGS gnawing at you. You shared short messages in the exchange with her. You did great. And in no way were those mean. You realize there is no other option. Kind or mean, it is a binary state. If you weren't mean then you were by definition, kind. Were you effusive in your kindness? No, but that doesn't mean that you were unkind.
