Thank you all for your advice and good words. Jkblue, your advice resonated the most with me, though I appreciate everyone’s posts greatly.

I don’t feel powerless in this situation, but I certainly do feel sad. It’s funny how I had a lot of anxiety before it reached this point but since the conversation took place I have felt very calm. I plan on taking it one step at a time, and checking in with myself before anyone else.

She reached out to me last night, while I was asleep, so I know that she’s certainly still struggling with the situation as well. I guess I’ll update you all if something comes of it. For now it’s a day-by-day thing.
