Another LBH (kinda) pt. 4

And it was during this time that I had basically tapped out emotionally for my own reasons which led to her finding the support she needed elsewhere.

I'm reminded of the quote from "The Last Boy Scout". I've thought about it a lot over the last couple of years...

“Sarah Hallenbeck: You were never around. You know what? F* you, Joe. I was lonely!"
"Joe Hallenbeck: Buy a dog.”



Yes, you should be emotionally available to your X. But lonely people have agency...in a MR - communicate needs, GAL, journal...teach a goat to yodel...so many other options than D and A's.

We choose what to do with our loneliness. Leave her to her own journey. IC is fabulous when it works. Keep being strong, read Sandi's rules (again and again) and be a lighthouse.

Hang in there, Salty!!
