>>78899152>>78899162>>78896185I'm very proud of you for wrapping this up on a civil, good faith, and compassionate note. I'm also not trying to label other things you've said as "bad faith" just because they're rude or hurtful. I know you're always trying more than not to do what you feel is right and best for you, too.
Lessons in radical authenticity/vulnerability are always welcome; but of course it's nice when it doesn't have to end in nervous system dysregulation and some gaping chasm cliffhanger of "Damnit, what else could I have done? How can I facilitate a mutually acceptable conclusion to this?"
I hope you're feeling the same peace and acceptance. This form of "satisfaction" (however poor an articulation of the essence that word is) itself seems to bring inherently with it a small pang of melancholy. But it feels more like the feeling of growth rather than phantom pain, so progress is progress.
Take care, Kris.
