But here's the thing: it was like she didn't want to walk away. She stood there not saying anything for ages, not sure if she was wanting to say something else, or if she was expecting me to say something to her. Eventually she just turned, went to leave. I waited for her and her sister to go, said "Take care" and closed the door. I really found it interesting that she loitered for a fair while though. not reading anything into this as she won't be coming back, either by her choice or mine.
This is detachment in action, even if you didn't feel it. My therapist says "Feelings follow actions", and I have found that to be true.
You DID it. Good job and keep it up. It's a horrible thing watching them pack up and leave (seemingly) without a care in the world. But you held your head up high and made it. Now take care of YOU.
