I saw her today. I walked into the bar next to my business (that sounds funny ... I walked in to order breakfast to-go but no one refers to them as a restaurant) and saw the back of her sitting at a table with mutual friends and I turned around and walked out. The cantina next door offers beans with their breakfast anyways ... and a healthier portion of hash browns. That's what I told myself at the time because we are a small town and I have to put on the happy face, you know?
My whole life, way before she started drinking, I was the adult. Part of me wishes I would have stayed and thrown a tantrum.
Too emotionally drained for typing and I need to put on another happy face for a BBQ but wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts. I will definitely look for the book mentioned!
Hugs to all that need one today.
