The Sudden Stop

[gen]

The houseguest I had earlier this year has been comfortably living in her own place for several months now. She had visited her parents for Christmas and came back Sunday night. Monday we met up for lunch, talked about how the visit went and how insane her mother was and then parted ways

Came here to say just this.

I've respected her wishes and not made comments of condolences on her account over at the other site.

Hard for me to do.
I like her, and see her as a friend now.

Give her a hug from me if you think it won't do any harm, Gen.

My grandfather was the only member of my family I was really close to- and he was a harsh and abusive old man.
I wasn't ready to talk to him until maybe 3 years after he died.
I've always regretted that.
But there was no possibility of me talking to him until I had had time to heal even a little from the emotional abuse he piled on me daily for years.

I probably understand what she is going through right now.
But its likely not the same.

I do wish I could help...But I won't impose myself upon her.

You've gone above and beyond as a friend, Gen. :) Fox is very lucky to have you as a friend.

*Hugs*

Sending lots of love her way.
