(((B)))---if hugs are ok

Your rage is understandable and it may take you a bit to work through it. Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing...

Pom is right about trusting our instinct. I learned that the hard way and I've never forgotten it.
The other thing I absolutely had to understand and let go of was my anger at myself...like I had done something wrong or initiated the action.
And that's a nearly normal response when we are dealing with events like this...please don't take responsibility for her actions. You had no way of knowing...

Good for you for taking care of it!

Best wishes for peace to come back into your heart,
Catherine
