Five minutes ago I accidentally deleted a work email, and went to my trash folder to retrieve it. And suddenly I was confronted by

No one has the power to hurt us without our permission. (or something like that)
HERE IS EVIDENCE OF THAT.
You took the words that were directed at you and made them about what they're truly about.
WAIT A MINUTE!

Kat,
First of all, as I read all of these posts, I want to send you (((((((hugs)))))))...you have been a wonderful encouragement to me on my fairly new journey to NC forever and newly out from my D-Day.
Hi
(((Kat)))
I'm kinda late but wanted to give you a hug.
7 weeks a good length of time, but in some respects, still very new - I'm right behind you, as you know.
I saw my xAP very recently on my floor and it really threw me for a loop and I just hated that seeing him still had such an impact on me.
You handled it well, and NOT wanting to respond is an indicator of your healing.
You've gotten some great replies which I hope have lifted your spirits somewhat but there is one question you need to ask yourself....
What were you expecting to read when you opened that email? IMO, this is where everyone who reads an email after weeks/months of healing is not thinking straight, and I don't care how much NC you have under your belt. If any of you actually think that they are going to say something so profound that it is going to make everything okay in your world, you have a ton of more work to do on yourself. Even if it was a full confession of undying love, do you actually think this would rock your world in a good way? In an email, no less?
Time to get real, everyone. DELETE those frig'n emails and texts. They are all ticking time bombs that usually blow up in your face. Remember...They are from XAPs...and not anyone ever worth ripping open wounds for.
((Hugs))
Hi Michelle,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. My mother always used to tell me that my greatest character flaw is that I "make people fall in love with me" so compliments are complicated things for me, KWIM? I've taught myself to accept one-line compliments graciously, but your

Iddy, I wasn't thinking. That was the problem. I did not engage my brain at all and just dumbly opened
