Dear Danny:

Clearly, the two of you need to communicate more, to put it all  out there. It’s no longer.. cool, at this age, at this time, to be anything but honest and open about what is going on, including the anxiety you mentioned (“it could make my anxiety worse”).

She read your message and didn’t answer four hours after, and it is mid-morning your time, I think. Single mothers of three children have to be extremely busy in mid-morning. But waiting is difficult, isn’t it.
