You could try and hand delivered letter.

I though your post was good, but there are too many twists and turns, and asides. You could focus just on the issue at hand, keep it simple to the point, but from the heart.

The reason I suggested that therapist was not just this, you have had various event in your life that you are grieving for and it might be an idea to have someone you can talk to about that in confidence.


It's fifty miles away to walk, about 17 hours if I could walk in a straight line even, and as soon as I got there her brother would just tell me to leave.

I thank you for your advice, though it is difficult not to think/write in tangents.

I appreciate the notion that a therapist could help, though if I had the money for a therapist I wouldn't be in an RV and now three months late on rent as of today precisely - which is also three years since Jackie and I moved into where we did. God has always provided for us, yet now it is very sad that we are apart - to me at least. Probably to Jackie also, though if she talked with me rather than remained silent I'd know more what she's thinking rather than just guesses.

If you can afford a stamp and envelope, write her a letter. It may not get through but worth a shot.

You should probably think about your immediate needs too. You can live off rice, and pulses, which are cheap. I don't know if any of your supermarkets offer free / cheap delivery? Or some kind of trolley you can push home? You can buy large bags of rice like 10kg, fairly cheap that will last a long time, cheap red lentils in bulk, plus some condiment for flavour. These don't need refrigeration and last.

Do you have a friend or relative who might be able to drive you?

Not to her brother's home. No point in that. To the court for the divorce as of 7 days from now though, my stepdad is willing to drive me there. He wants me to argue in favor of the debts being split in his favor... to which I say oy. I love Jackie though and I want nothing more than to be with her again and for us to be friends and become best friends again. I hope she'll turn this around before it's too late though.

to Iamaparakeet: I appreciate very much that you managed somehow to gave her the distance that she wanted and needed, and that you are more into wanting to be a good friend of hers. That is very good.
Take it as a long-term project.

(BTW, there are couples that divorce - and remarry years later.)
