He thanked me for the email.. said it was very well written.. and he was going to address it with his counselor. It's a step.
That is a step!!! When one’s feelings of hurt are expressed explicitly, the caring, loving and respectful response should be: I’m sorry and I’ll be sure to not do that again. I don’t want to hurt you. I love you and want you to be happy..
