Friendship Moments: good or bad

[lighter]

The simple things are made complex, IME, when we resist acceptance.

Acceptance, has been a magic potion, in my life.  Still, I resist.....but it's getting easier.

I Zoomed with Poet today for an hour.
She spent the first half avoiding eye contact.
Said that the bad temper is part of who she is.
She is tired of feeling guilty and already apologized.

I told her I forgive, and had accepted her first apology.
I've just struggled to process it and know whether/how to continue.

She talked about her time alone and how she cleaned up the house. Kept busy. She's making new friends. Some are very sympathetic.
Said my house feels chaotic (the clutter) and that made her feel unwelcome.

I wish if it'd bothered her that much, she'd switched to an earlier flight. Didn't say so.

Anyway, it feels pretty "over" to me and I'm okay with that.

You know, Hops.....
lately I've been curious about all the things I didn't say, but maybe should have.  Certainly, could have.

That's more interesting, to me, than Poet continuing to avoid responsibility, and gaslighting you, bc she
just
can't
be
a
better
person.

She can have her little meltdowns with her new friends.
Fine. 
I'm sure they'll find her marital struggles fascinating, along with her lopsided "take it or leave it," lack of reciprocity in relationship.

Sorry she can't do better. 
You certainly deserve better
