Nora, hon, maybe you could type out what the anger ball part of you would REALLY like to say to her right now. Let go of some of that anger by typing it all out and not holding back even a little bit. Act as if you're actually going to send it by re-reading it a few times for flow and content and changing whatever you feel needs changed. And then delete it. Or save it in a What I'd Really Like To Say Right Now folder and delete it next week.
That's what I've had to do in the past in order to move beyond the anger. It usually tends to help.
Oh, and {{{Nora}}}!

I have one of those! I make sure that the To: field is empty now though cause I accidentally sent one once.
Of course accidental sending is also how I told my parents that I was moving to Portland.
You'd think I would have learned by now. But, no... The button just looks so clickable and so I click.
Yay! My crap paper is written! Now to pack and get ready to go home.
Off to saddle up for another trip to the nursing home to see my neighbor before she goes for dialysis. Words cannot describe how much I hate going to that awful place. It's not a good place for me to bring my imagination.
However, I am being a good friend, if somewhat unwillingly. I'm bringing things like puzzle books, paperclips, the bills and stamps, etc. I brush her hair for her and promise when she's on her feet again, we'll take her out to eat.

Christmas music is on the tv radio. Did I sleep through a couple of months?

That's not good. I want Halloween to get all the attention right now!
Nora, everything everyone else said. I believe you'll handle this well because you are a good person, because you're giving some thought to this, and because you're looking at all your options. There isn't a right answer, just a best answer that takes everything into consideration -- and lo! That's exactly what you're doing. I know it's hurting, and for that I am very sorry that you have to go through this.
