This stuff is always so hard. I'm sure that once it's all over, you'll feel so much more relieved about it, though.

Hi Laura, I'm Albert. Thank you for taking the time to read my long story, which I think I left some stuff out because it's just too long and I've told it a lot. Thanks for helping, and I think I'm going to leave her for good, because you're right, she won't change, no matter how hard I try. I just need to figure out what I'm going to say to her. Thanks for the offer, because I lost the only friend I talked to about this stuff because of her, and I just don't like bothering other people.

I hope you don't mind me sending you a friend request. If you ever need help or just somebody to talk to, feel free. I'm Laura, by the way.
