I agree it's a bit much, and I don't fault you for escaping early. This new normal is bizarre and uncomfortable to get accustomed to. I wish your family understood more for your sake.

The choice is yours to make when you're ready to. No one can force or expect an answer you don't have to provide. You know I'm in no position to give advice on these matters considering the truths I shared yesterday, but apathy won't allow you to move forward. You'll suppress and ignore it all until there's nothing left to do but feel. Feeling isn't the worst thing to do, Lachlan.

I'm ignoring your comparison of us. It isn't a competition.
