Dear Crystal:

I think you have the right to be angry with him even though he is mentally ill because really, no one is that well, mentally and so, no one has the right to be angry with anyone…? We get angry naturally when someone hurts us- it is an automatic response to being hurt, regardless of anything else. When you feel anger at him, let it be.

Becoming him in those… exciting ways, maybe, was a relief from being you, wasn’t it? Like taking a ride in some other life and getting a break from your own?
