    Surely you see the point of her inviting you to her show? Trauma melts your brain, so you have to build some kind of structure in there to deal with shit. Shame she couldn't tell you, but there's a whole level of chaos she's trying to deal with too. Shame and guilt and whatnot, but if you can be the calm, then maybe you could get the excitement you dream of, and she can get the calmness and security she obviously desires.

    How old are you both? You sounds about 50 and she sounds about 25. ;-)

    • Great story btw. I read it and could almost feel your stress.Ianbolton
    • The bigger question is, will she care for you if you got eg parkinson's at age 65. Will she be there for the decade of decline, or will she bail?shapesalad
    • You're absolutely right. I'm pushing 50 (though skew younger) and she's late 20s. Wasn't the plan, but here we are.catpower
    • Impressive powers of deduction, Ian!BuddhaHat
    • At least you know your piece works when the life starts flowing through it again.Ianbolton
