You give me too much credit, Dinah, and you don't give yourself enough.
I am disappointed that she doesn't love me or miss me as much as I love and miss her. But it is what it is and she does love me and she is still in my life. I believe it's worth it to me to keep her in my life on this more limited basis. Yes, I still feel angry at times, but it's not the primary emotion that I feel for her and I don't feel the need to process it anymore. I'm aware of it and I'm aware of the reality of the situation.
I'm probably not making much sense. Ten years ago I probably wouldn't have been able to deal with this transition. But one of the things we worked on a lot in therapy is my believing in connections that I couldn't see and touch. So I feel like I finally believe that -- that our connection survives the distance and the disparity in our relationship.
