Hey Dr. C,
I may be a bit sleep deprived when I come in today. I’m a bit restless over an ongoing conversation w my 42yo next door neighbor. After welcoming us to DC w Alfonso earlier this year, he has admitted he feels left out in the cold by us as the year has progressed. He’s noted we hang out w other people in that community, always without him.

I told him that he may very well be correct, because Kev and I have been very raw over a toxic relationship w an older gay married couple who we relied on during an equally turbulent year as this was for us.
And when I came to the part in our exchange where I felt the need to describe what happened, after writing many long and detail drafts, I was able to boil the whole experience down to one sentence —
“I was cyberstalked for the better part of this year and most of last.”

I was proud of being able to contain it in such a simple generality.

Anyway, see ya soon!
