Hi Ange, I dont think you are being mean, as always I welcome your views. I dont think there is anything wrong with telling them how we feel, it is normal human interaction after all. He can take it or leave it, its up to him. What was important here was for me to say what I had to say. Of course I care about him, I always will, but caring is a two way street and its been a one way cul de sac for too long. For me to be able to move on, I had to do this. Now finally, I feel I can begin to heal myself properly, not with one eye permanently fixed on my phone, waiting for contact that will never come. As I said I told him in the email that I didnt expect a response and sure enough, as expected there hasnt been one. Its a beautiful day here and a friend of mine is coming shortly to pick me up and take me out for coffee (cant drive at the moment). I hope everyone has a lovely weekend,
regards,
Erin
