The wound is old but mostly healed. It’s her being diagnosed with cancer that makes it all weird.
Like I hoped for it. Not exactly. Not the cancer, or disease, but everything that comes with it… it’s a weird mix of shame, guilt, pity, and ashamedly a little bit of a weird form of triumph. Like “she’s finally getting hers,” but then “…oh, fuck. Not like that…” Not a fun form of triumph, not sure if there’s a better word for that.
There’s a weird piece that I’m very financially stable and if things were to have worked out with us she would t have a GoFundMe up. But at the same time, I’m unwilling to donate the final $1000 to meet her goal.
I don’t think you need to feel guilty about it. But at the same time, it sounds like you’d benefit from being able to put her behind you. How you get there I obviously can’t advise on.
Good luck man. Congrats on the financial stability! I’m jealous ha.

It’s really a fucked up set of feelings.
🥂 cheers
