Yes, it is necessary for my wellbeing. Isn't it the way it really should be though? Whether in a relationship or not? Looking after ourselves and our partners dealing with themselves? Or have I mistaken what you were saying?  I don't think it's harsh. It's not being mean either. It's what is supposed to happen isn't it? You are no longer together. Should one be providing emotional support? 

Ultimately yes. My heart hurts and I don't think straight most of the time. I can see and feel the damage. It's a horrible feeling. Some days I really just do want to be alone to deal with myself. 

Thank you for recognising tomorrow is a big day for me. It certainly is. I've still got a bit to get done. I was going to post pics here but then realised I can't. My name is on my work. So, I would be breaking rules. 

I really appreciate you wishing me all the best. I know you mean it with your heart. It means a lot. Had a few sombre moments about the same thing today. Not having folks to call to tell them thus happening in my life. Nor my younger sister. There's just times when it's harder than others having no family. 

So, I better keep going so I can get some sleep eventually!
