I keep wondering if No Contact should be two part. No Contact, meaning we don't reach out, and No Response, meaning we don't respond to their ********. Its two different things, really, isn't it? I got derailed from receiving a nasty email from him, that everyone pointed out that I should NOT have read, that I had the capability of just deleting, therefore protecting myself from the harm it could...and did do. It set me back, though not nearly as bad as if he showed up would. It feels wrong, so so wrong, to block them out, but its so so necessary. I am under the impression that mine is gone for good and won't be popping back up in my life, which brings a form of relief, and a bigger sense of heart tearing despair. No Contact, No Response, love yourself enough to protect yourself any way you can while you are so completely fragile.
