I agree with amante and marjan..... the sooner you cut off contact the better. I know you know that too Belle. It's hard. It is good you will be talking with your T tonight. Those sessions always give you focus and renewed strength. Maybe you can arrange more regular sessions for a while so that your positive energy can be better sustained. Just a thought.

So how do you feel about asking Mark and his response? Did it help you let it go? You said 'ask again'. Does that mean you asked him before? LOL... I am sounding like a T here. Forgive me. I will leave that kind of probbing to the professionals. Just leave them here for thought. No response required.

Yea.... you will get past Mark. Sooner or later. Any chance you can take a holiday and get out of town for a while. A change of scenery is always a good thing. Maybe a yoga retreat or something equally self caring.

Be well my friend.
