Dear Savanah,

Thinking back about that period, it was indeed something like a man cave. I shut people out completely during that phase. The day to day interaction was of course there but in my headspace there was only me and no space for anyone else.

Keep yourself safe from his anger. Disability is something that changes a person hopefully for the better. In the phase where you can’t talk or see him, maybe thoughtful gestures in the form of supportive statements or maybe gifts that you know from your interactions from him that he would appreciate may help.

Good to read that your misunderstanding is not strong enough to break you apart. Hope things get better. Keep the one thing foremost in your mind about what is in your control – that is your well being.

Take care.
