Not long after writing yesterday's blog, I had a recollection. I was not the only confidant for my "troubled friend." There were 2 of us. I vaguely know the other, but have a lot of respect for him.
I found his contact information, and we agreed to meet for a coffee to discuss "the situation."
We talked for around 3 hours, and I got a lot of insight into everything. While it didn't fix the issue, it enabled me to get myself to a better place. Not only am I a lot more comfortable with how things are and will likely evolve, I am emotionally in a better position to support my friend.
So unexpectedly cathartic and therapeutic, it was one of the best days in recent memory.
Phew! Holding that kind of stuff in can really drive a person crazy. I'm glad you had an opportunity to vent.
