Hello, I have found your comment to my prev. comment, posted some months ago "Hey alexibm. Since neither of us included contact info in our profiles, commenting here instead of a PM. I stumbled across one of your prior comments. All I want to say is I hope you're now doing well. Or least better. I'll delete this reply in a few days, or after you acknowledge, which ever comes first."

Thank you for looking out for me. I'm pretty sure, I know the comment you are referring to. At this point, it is been over 2 years. I would not say, I'm completely healed over, but I'm in a lot better place than I was before. To this day, I have bad days.

Person in question, who caused a lot of needless harm to me, recently popped-out on my FB (haven't spoken to her in 2 years). She was not apologetic, instead, she told me how fun it is skiing in Alps. When I question, if she understands that she caused a lot of harm to me, she went silent. From what I understood, she wanted to see if I have forgiven her since then ... I didn't. Asked her to never come back to my life.

Hi. Glad you're doing better.

Some people disappear, with out so much as a goodbye. The lack of closure leaves a huge wound.

Other people just won't go away. I also have my zombie tormenters. One just defeated my best efforts to block. Just when you think they're gone for good, they pop up again. FFS.

Jeffrey from the BBC comedy 'Coupling' calls those people 'unflushables'.

Someone someday will make a mint with a proactive "ghosting" app (or service). Short of restraining orders, of course. :)

Best wishes.
