![Estrangement is not freeing. It has not felt joyful. It has not been happy. It has only felt necessary [...] The silence now is not so different from the lonely holidays I endured over the years, an extension of the months of silence we’d exchanged but more total. There is one major difference: I don’t have to work on earning his love anymore. I can just work on accepting that I will never have it. That is far from peace. But it is what it is.
