    Dear Anita:

    Thank for again for your replies. Yes that does make sense. What you say about the rejection from my mother. Do you recommend I try therapy? Is opening to people something I can learn to do so I do not feel like I will spend the rest of my life alone?

    I will let you know what I decide to do about “A”. Part of me just wants to see her because I gave given so many years of my life to whatever this relationship is. I know that I am emotionally unhealthy but I am worried that I will always be left wondering things about her if I walk away without spending some time with her.  I mean more than the night we spent together when she was grieving her father.

    I do not know what I will do but I will let you know what transpires.

    Dear Joe:

    You are welcome. Quality psychotherapy with a good psychotherapist is an excellent idea- excellent use of the money you make in your full time job.

    “Is opening to people something I can learn to do so I do not feel like I will spend the rest of my life alone?”- opening to the right people will do, not just to anyone. Opening to the wrong people will hurt you. A good place to learn to open up is with a professional, responsible, empathetic therapist.

    “I am worried that I will always be left wondering things about her if I walk away without spending some time with her”- being left wondering is not as bad as being left hurt even more, being left even farther away from better mental health.

    I will be looking forward to your next post, whenever you would like to update me.
