Thank you, Salinger, that was beautiful, really.

I do feel his care. I truly do. And I believe in it - that's why I knew that he had merely put his foot in his mouth and wasn't conveying what he really meant. This was really just a case of "well gosh you said the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong words today."

The pain I'm feeling right now isn't really about C or what he said today anymore. It's about S. And my ex-stepmom. And all the people who I loved, who I thought loved me, and who either stopped loving me or just never did, and I didn't realize it.
