Dear marie:

I wouldn’t ignore what happened, I’d tell them all that it’s been difficult for you, a difficult adjustment, that you were disappointed to not have been told of the situation before you returned… but then, you know that you are not perfect either, and that you all improve and get close again, closer than lately. Something like that, you choose your words, of course, plan ahead what you’d tell them and when. You can ask them how they feel about what you said, about the situation… and take it from there.
