Dear Shelly:

Glad you posted with the recent update. You wrote that “In our bubble things were just beyond amazing”- this is very insightful, the words “in our bubble”- life is more than what was in the bubble, the reality of him having a daughter and two children total. Way more than the bubble. It was good in the bubble and your sadness is understandable, the loss of the love in the bubble. (I like the word bubble here so I keep repeating it..)

Outside the bubble, when in the relationship with him, you experienced much distress, remember that too. When you process the experience, try to not remember only the happiness in the bubble. Remember it AND the misery of outside the bubble, just to keep things real, the way they were.

Please post again… and again…
