Relationship Affirmation

@caligirl03, I sent a break up email yesterday. Concise, void of emotion, and very clear in my reasons why. I hope I can stick with it, though I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to (at the moment).

As someone who's recently had to do the same, I imagine this couldn't have been an easy decision for you and commend you for your courage. I would encourage you to please brace for yourself for the flood of feelings that will likely be coming your way in the following days and weeks, ranging from everything from overwhelming guilt to seething rage to crushing sadness. I suspect this roller coaster reaction is normal with any breakup, but perhaps far more so in one where the beast of PTSD has been involved and we're left having to detox from a whole host of conflicting emotions. You may also want to have a plan of action in the event that your now-ex tries to contact you--which if my own experience has taught me anything--he will.

Chin deep in feelings flood now.
