Drama for everyone
Oct. 3rd, 2003 07:23 pmI have been asked by one of the participants to make my locked posts on the ongoing saga available publicly. While I can see that person's viewpoint, at least one other participant is not comfortable with that level of publicity, so I will further posts public, names disguised. Past posts I will send to the person who asked for them.
Had a nice long phone call with Y this evening. Partly to check on him, and partly to clear up a cryptic, but explosive, email I had received from X earlier in the day.
Apparently, X had asked for complete honesty, and got it. And was predictably very upset by what was said.
As far as the phone call goes, Y said some things I was hoping he would say, about how he screwed up and there was no justificaiton for what he did. About how he/they got to point they are now. About how X was trying to make a safe space (his words) to discuss issues each were bothered by. About how X agreed to work harder to fix some of his legal issues (a major sticking point).
And at the same time, a part of me has to wonder, how much was genuine, and how much was just what I wanted to hear? I hate being suspicious of my friends.
About the emails I received from X--let's just say they were typed at the end of long hours of emotional storms, and I don't know whether I should respond at all, or just leave it until X calms down again. They were harsh, and bitter, and asked questions I'm not sure I should even try to answer.
Not what I needed on an evening I'm spending by myself. Too much time alone to sit and brood.
