Hi Kenneth,

I’ll try not to surprise you…
I’m sorry you’re going through this torment. I wish it were otherwise, but it ain’t.
One thing I can tell you is that I’m glad you are in my life…even if it’s fleeting. As one who has never been hit as hard as you have, your words are a learning for me. They mightn’t be nice to read, but I need to read them…for my own development. Sounds a bit selfish…but that’s they way the Universe has made things.
I also suggest you re-consider sharing your thoughts with your “family”. It’s unfair of you to deprive them of the opportunity to both, learn about your plight, and to offer you help…or, at least, understanding. It may come to nothing, but isn’t it worth a try.
