It took until last week for me to receive the last of the settlement from my divorce. I've paid a price with my soul and wellbeing - and it's also clear I would have been in much more of a dire situation had I not left. Psychologically I am more resilient and at the same time I took some hits, figuratively speaking.
My medications are stable for the time being. I survived a visit home, and have vowed it to be my last, for who knows how long. The mom, she doesn't know when to stop hurting. This daughter knows it's time *I* learn and just leave her be. It's exhausting.
I'm still thrilled with my solitude and my preferred silence, yet I'm managing to make friends and get out of the apartment. One by one is suiting me. This afternoon is meeting a new friend for coffee, something unheard of a year ago unless I had massive reassurances.
I see that Larry Hoover has being paying a visit. Hello, Lar. I believe I have a shared experience.
Skies are still Clear
