Dear Anita,

Phew! It is never my intention to offend you – and I know often when we speak so freely things can be taken out of context.  Not by you, by anyone! I am glad it isn’t that way.

I respect immensely the effort you put in to support her, and the emotional attachment makes sense – a kind exuberant personality of hers, loving and grateful.  But of course then you were bit.  And as you said so maturely – you don’t need to be bit anymore, so you won’t.  Now that is a strong woman! Bravo to you!

Great point about the histrionic personality – that term coming back to my mind.  When I mentioned in psychiatry extreme quick attachments and back and forth wavering – they can be present in borderline personality disorder.  It is not my intention to diagnose her or anyone.  I, myself, have plenty that could be diagnosed as well! Lol!

So Anita, I assume you do not make official New Year’s resolutions.  Or perhaps I am wrong – and you do!

But, what, if I may ask – is ONE thing you want to work on this coming year?  I will think about this and answer as well.
