-
I haven't spoken with her since September 2017. [redacted] wine to spend an afternoon/evening together in [redacted] and after [redacted] leaves to have coffee with [redacted]. I am left on my own. This should have been no surprise, as it has always been this screwy and manipulative way.
She up and [redacted]. And I am so saddened by this that I cannot see her face to face. Most likely, I will never see her again. I was very saddened to understand fully "my place." - Rights
