Hey E,

If you can get out, get out. Being in a bad situation is never good. That’s why they call it a bad situation. It affects everything around you.

For those of us who can’t get out (maybe I should stop saying can’t), the question is how do we…what? Cope? I guess that’s the word.

Since writing here I’ve realized that I’m looking for a way to numb/take away/escape the pain. It hurts. I tried meditation when the pain was really strong and it still hurt. I don’t know.
