I can remember that feeling, it was like being the man that never was. Gracie, I'm sorry you're feeling that same hurt because it's truly awful.
But you see, he can't erase you no matter how hard he tries. Because you exist in multiple concurrent realities. He can't wipe out who you are and what you mean to Toph, or me, or Suze, or Sunny, or Cockeyed, or ClearSkies or any other babbler you've ever interacted with. He can't delete that part of you that exists within your kids and your friends. He can't erase the memories of the people you worked with and for or your clients.
And no matter what he says and does he can't take away the fact that you loved him despite everything. That was the hardest thing when M deleted me - the fact that I wanted to hate her so bad but just couldn't. Not sure that that didn't just make me hurt more.
I think Toph was right about you having a delete key of your own, but I also know from my own situation how hard some choices are. I think I kind of practice partitioning. I try not to carry 'it' beyond the front door, or beyond her company.
You'll always exist forand within us Gracie.
