Even if we said it was okay to give up, I don't think you would let yourself. You are far too strong for that. As tempting as it might seem, I know you have so much self-respect that you would never abide giving up in anything.
I'm here for you, Kat. When it feels like it is too much, I will always be here. You know I understand.
I don't think you are going mad. When you are surrounded by so much, I think it is natural to want to find a place that is alone.
Even though I am to be a father, I cannot imagine what it is like to be carrying a life inside me. Maybe that makes it hard to feel alone. I can understand if that is true. And if it is like that, then I can understand why you would want it to go away.
I don't think I have ever wanted me to go away. Maybe I would have felt that way before I moved to England, if I had been going through this same thing. But I have experienced so much, including things where I might have lost my life, that I could never want it to go away, no matter what the pressure was. At the same time, as much as they have taught me, I would never want you to go through such scary things. Then again, maybe they are no more scary than what we are facing now. It gets hard to tell.
I hope what I have said is helping, I am not sure if somewhere it just turned into rambling.
I know it feels easy, but I think you would soon realise that it wouldn't be. Not to leave the people you love, and who love you. I certainly don't know how I could begin to deal with losing you.
I do care, Kat. So very much. I love you. You have very quickly become one of my most cherished friends. Your support and solidarity mean more to me than I could ever tell you. Believe me when I say that nothing about you going away would be easy.
Do you want me to come and see you, Kat? We can talk in person if that would be better.
