Sadness. She tried calling me Sunday night. She tried e-mailing me today. Her needs now, I'm guessing: To have connection; reassurance; understanding; compassion/care. My needs now: To protect myself; to be happi(er); to support my well-being; to follow through on a commitment (not to have communication with her for a period of several weeks). I empathize with what I'm guessing she's going through.At the same time, I believe it is better for me to abstain from making contact until more time has passed, as I had planned. At the same time... I've been in her shoes.
