I'm not sure grief is the correct term. Evaluating the traditional stages of grief, I have passd through all of those and am not holding onto what we once had. It was fun while it lasted but we moved on and that's fine.

What is happening however is my connecting certain things with past issues that are many years old. Growing up, I felt as though (notice I said felt and not that any of this is fact) I was not good enough for certain things. When it comes to my family, I did not get what one would have expected to receive from family. Other people did get those things but I did not. I kind of thought I was over most of that but this current situation has brought some of that back. Perhapse all of this has nothing really to do with her but my own issues.
