Message: <blockquote data-quote="Warrior Poet" data-source="post: 2206580" data-attributes="member: 1057">Sorry to hear about your troubles, and I wish you the best going forward.  Read your letter draft:  sounds like one of the most mature, reasoned, respectful approaches to a chaotic and confusing situation I've heard about in a long time.  I respect Darth K'Trava's suggestion to add something friendly and make it less harsh, but, frankly, I'd leave it like it is: honest and up front, not decorated with anything, just put the cards on the table.  You got wounded about the cats, you're letting her know how you feel without couching it in any terms other than what it is.  Being friendly is important in life, but friendly isn't going to suddenly change everything around, as if that's the thing it all hinges on.  As you've said, the issues are deeper than that.  Time to be honest, my opinion only, and worth what you paid for it.Good luck, hang in there, get some time and space for yourself.  The gym is good:  nothing like a little physical exertion to help push through some of the mental and emotional gymnastics that goes on at a time like this.  Those gymnastics are important, but it helps to have the balance of simple muscular development and cardio work to remind you of some of the most basic things:  water, sun, sleep, food, and you're alive.Take care, and thanks for serving.Warrior Poet</blockquote>
