Re: Bucky B/Sharon C
He is raw, and he is going to be raw for a long time. But that's not because of you. That's because of him. That's because he blames himself for it. He should have done this, or he should have done that. He let you down and you never once let him down. That's the reality, Buck. You gotta understand that he's got issues too that he doesn't have a clue how to deal with. Because he's living on a much shorter timeline.
But I can guarantee you that if you pull back now it's gonna cause harm. You be angry, and you stay away as long as you need to, but you have to make the bargain that you're coming back. You have to trust yourself enough to know that you've got this under control. Because you may hate having to do it, but you're holding back from it. That's a big deal, Bucky. Stay as mad as you want. Allow yourself to feel the bad stuff right along with the good stuff. You can do it, Bucky. You've done it before.
But take help, and take the people who love you at their word that they love you, and don't run.
