New Message

Just got another brief email. Still no caps and oddly signed with her full name. But it was a message. Actually, it was nearly identical to the last one. "Stick with me. I am almost there." What does that mean?

She also added that her family is still missing in New Orleans. Maybe she got a Red Cross message?

This message left me feeling like saying "Yeah, right." I felt relieved that she is obviously safe, but I feel pretty disengaged from her and her situation right now.

The more independent I become from her, the easier it gets to distance myself. This week has required significant struggle as I work to extricate myself from her financially, but I made big strides and I definitely feel less urgency around our "relationship". I don't need her, though up until March I still felt I did. Which, by the way, is ridiculous; I was supporting her. But up until March I still believed she would reciprocate.
