No bite
I talked with E today, and I was really nervous and afraid to do it. I told her that I had been feeling like my emotional needs had not been met, and that I felt like she needed to take more accountability for past mistakes. I used the analogy of if you stab someone with a 6-inch blade, pulling it out 3 inches doesn’t make you even. Pulling it out 6 inches doesn’t make it even, either. You need to pull the blade out, and then heal the wound for it to be even. She took it very well and responded incredibly well. It did relieve a lot of the mental pressure that I had and a lot of the resentment that had started to build up. I just really hope that somehow she can actually follow up and show that initiative to make amends for past transgressions.
