Hi Tee

Thank you for your explanation and for your time. I know that we haven’t communicated much but I value your opinion as you often give members excellent feedback. I appreciate that you tried to reach out when I left. I noticed your message when I returned, but I didn’t reply because I thought Anita would be bothered if the thread was active.

Your explanation makes sense. I can see now that Anita was sharing an overview of her thought process. That makes it less painful.

I find objective third party opinions very helpful, I often ask friends how they perceive situations. There is not only one way to see things, my experience is only one small part of a larger whole. My experience is subject to change as my understanding does.

Please feel free to share your thoughts about the conflict.

I know that I wish Anita had discussed her feelings outside of a time when I was feeling very hurt and defensive. It’s not really conducive for a calm and empathetic conversation. I wasn’t able to be present for that conversation in the way that I wanted to be.
