Implosion

You ever start a conversation with someone you just know isn't going to end well? But the issue has been between you for several weeks. And frankly I'm not the kind of person who can continue on and ignore things. I say get it out and over with. So I did. And it didn't end well. So my refuge is crying in front of the keyboard reading other people's blogs. I just wish I hadn't done it at midnight when I really need to be sleeping.

And I really start to resent anything that interferes with how I should be feeling at this time. The other 90% of my pregnancy is total joy and anticipation.

*hugs* hope the rest of the day went better... i'm more of an avoid-confrontation-at-all-costs kind of person even if your-insides-get-all-twisted-and-that-thing-just-festers-inside by default, but I've tried to be better at putting things out there. You did the right thing, at least you put it out there. Good for you!

Cyber hugs aren't as good as the really thing, but I'm sending them to you anyway. I hope that you feel better sweetie. You are such a wonderful person.
