What you have said is basically what I wrote in the previous post and deleted about me and M*, because I needed to hear it from you.
We are friends I guess but really I'm "When all else fails can Damos cause he'll still talk to me." I know this and accept it. That there'll only be contact when she needs supporting or whatever. But it's my choice to continue to love now. To love her and her son as best I can. To have boundaries and to hold them fast, slowly she is getting used to them and we can still talk and laugh and reminisce and that is good cause no-one has known me as long as she has. We just do it a lot less often now. I think we actually have more respect for each other now. No condemnation or recrimination. Regrets? Yes. Sadness? Yes. But that's life. We live and we learn, so I'm told. Guess I must just be very slow on the uptake.
I'll always be honoured to be your friend Gracie, always.
