I finally caught up with her late in the afternoon.

The first thing she did was apologize to me. It was nothing I said, or did. The problem was that, after I left, she started to compare our lives and it got her down. She wasn't angry at me, per se, but she was jealous of my job and my health. So she lashed out. By the time she got off the plane in Florida, she'd had time to think it through and realized that I hadn't done anything and her anger was misplaced.

I let her know I understood, which I really do. Sometimes it just isn't fair and you just get angry, even if the target isn't the cause of the anger. I also told her that I'd never say anything to hurt her. I reinforced how well she's doing - she's travelling, she's taking her art classes, she's still ALIVE.

I'm so happy we worked it out. Thank you all.
