Dear Alejandra:

Good to read from you. As I read your recent post, without looking at previous posts on your thread, I remembered that not long ago he told you that he did wrong by you, cheating on you, and therefore, he has to live with it. But is he suffering for it, like you do? I think that it is .. you who are living with it and suffering for what he did!

“I know the best way to avoid those moments and feeling nostalgic would be to block him. I don’t think I am there yet. Maybe.. I feel too emotionally exhausted to put myself through more sadness and anxiety”- take your time, don’t put pressure on yourself when you are exhausted, be gentle with yourself.

You are making progress healing: writing that letter, not having any contact with him, sleeping better, eating better, keeping yourself busy and put together, like you wrote. So you are doing well, especially under the circumstances of being stuck at home. Give yourself the credit you deserve for doing as well as you do.

“waking up every day and getting through the days with all I have to offer right now”- that’s a lot to offer right now. Take good care of yourself, best care possible, and post again.
