Artemis, thinking of you with love and strength. I know this happened a few days ago. Hope you are ok. xoxo
Artemis, Many of us are waiting for you to checkin. It may feel awful right now but IT WILL GET BETTER! love and light your way sister. xoxo
Hi everyone – i am really sorry for being out of touch like that. i don’t mean to make anyone worry… i went from the appointment with the therapist directly to two speaking engagements later that day, and have been feeling like i needed a break. i just haven’t had the energy to deal with thinking about him, or sex addiction, or anything.
Thursday’s appointment with the counselor went okay. i stayed relatively grounded and was clear and articulate. he looked like a jackass and showed his emotional immaturity. we are not in contact anymore. i feel peaceful about my part in this, and am so glad i did that session with him, even though it was really challenging… but still a lingering sense of disbelief at how this all went down. i will write more detail about the session soon.
i am so behind on some work deadlines, and i have been trying to stay focused, and busy, and not spend too much time alone.
again, i am really sorry for not checking in sooner. i appreciate all of you and it means the world to know you care.
i will check in more soon. i love you all.oh also, i wanted to say, nobody was too harsh, or too real, i really do appreciate all of you. i just have been needing some space. we did agree not to discuss our personal relationship in shared professional circles and i am very thankful we made that agreement.
Nothing to apologize for, Artemis. Just glad that you’re doing ok. Your instincts must have been bang on that this was the right thing for you to do. xoxo
I’ve been away for a couple of days, but I support you all wholeheartedly. Perhaps taking something from the Hillary Clinton playbook would be in order. Do Not Say Anything, Not One Single Thing, About Anyone, or Any Political Matter. Change the subject. Your future has nothing to do with the drama of today. Stay true, stay strong, and don’t even bother to try to defend yourself. The SA type already knows how to manipulate that. Sometimes discretion is the greater part of valor. Not for his sorry ass, for yours. You are not protecting him. You are writing your own story. You are not letting press and media define your narrative. It’s personal. period. the end. Next…. You sound like you have passionate beliefs that you want to propel into creating a better world. Stay strong with that.
I know however how painful and how privately and publicly painful this is. Stay strong.
