Smart woman. Good for her. And good for Reece.

But most of all, good for you. Yes, it is painful for the pair of them, no question, and I commend them on their principled stand. But ultimately you are the one who has submitted to this.

If you'll forgive me for alluding to The Lord of the Rings, it's like when Bilbo voluntarily let go of the One Ring, though he almost could not. But that choice is what separated him from Gollum. You made the hard choice. You are going to come back from this strong and healed.

And yes, this looks like a strong diary entry to me. Keep it up. Spare us nothing. It will be an extraordinary record to look back on.

I'm cheering for you. :)
