@Spirit_Healer thank you for sharing @The-red-centaur words and your story.

It can be so hard introducing someone to our families. Specially when there are complexities within our own families. 

I'm so sorry for the hurt you have endured having someone walk away. Someone you thought was right for you. It's sad but in the end better for you to discover this now that months down the track when you are more attached. I wish your ex had had the maturity to talk to you frankly and say goodbye properly instead of ghosting you. But unfortunately not everyone can face this kind of conflict.

It's good you are moving on. And wise not to get involved with someone you know it's not in for the long run. What about approaching this other person you like and see if they are interested in a date? Would feel comfortable with that?

Take the time to work on your own happiness first. And one day at a time ❤️.

Sending you hugs 🫂 🤗 ❤️
