I understand the need for a relationship 'post mortem'. We (people that is) seem to have an inherent need for closure and understanding, to put the realtionship to bed and say goodbye, to speak to the other party to make sense of it all. Or we think we do..

It is possible to do all of those things without the other party. Coming here, Al-anon, talking to other people who have been there done it and got the t-shirt, talking to a therapist, talking to family and friends.. all of the above are ways you can do that without the A.

It's ok to be scared. But (and trust me on this) you will be o.k. Life doesn't throw anything at us we can't handle.. and often, what seems to be a terrible situation turns out to be one from which we grow and gain strength.
