Very timely post. I’ve read several articles recently detailing how emotionally distraught people can become when their relationship, I hesitate to use the word, with an avatar ends. I come from a different era having been born in 1952. Growing up we didn’t lock our doors, neighbours just popped in uninvited to have a chat over a cup of tea, kids played together in the streets until dusk and where I grew up nobody owned a car just the occasional motorcycle. Looking back I realise I lived through a golden period compared with today’s dystopian nightmare. For instance to be 16 and living in England in 1968 was to be at the centre of the universe.
