Dear nycartist:

You are welcome. In my efforts to understand better, there is always more to see and consider. Maybe your great reluctance to let go of this former friend (I do not consider her your friend, from all that you shared) has to do with your childhood-born gnawing fear of being cut out and cast aside: “this gnawing fear that I’ll have someone mad at me, or someone cut me out of their life can cast me aside”-

– if you want to, can you tell  me in what ways you were cut out and cast aside as a child, particularly by your mother?

(I am always okay with you/ members not answering my questions, so feel free to not answer anything you are not comfortable answering).
