Dear matt::

You are welcome and thank you for the good wishes. Glad you are feeling better, so much better. The benefit in anger replacing despair is that angry, you are able to exert power and control over your life, over the parts that are up to you (for example, your choice to not respond to her messages!) –

when in despair, one feels powerless- and that is intolerable. Keep exerting reasonable power over your life. You can’t help what she chooses to do, but you do have the freedom to choose yourself! Make your choices work for you. After all, somebody needs to be on your side. She is not. Make it be you.
