Renee, I don't think that leaving is the answer, in fact, I'm pretty certain that we need you here and we're all better off if you stay.

I've inadvertently "hijacked" so many threads in my years here. It's so easy to do, and I've always felt sorry for having done it, especially when the original person who posted is in a lot of pain and in need of care and support.

But it's never been my intent to hurt anyone, and I knew it, and so I just learned from my mistake and moved on, trying to remember not to do it again, but doing it more often than I care to admit - just call me scatterbrained! The beauty of this place is that nobody's ever changed the way they care about me or changed the sincerity of welcoming me in here. I would encourage you to trust us to understand and know that you never intended to hurt anyone and trust that our care for you, our welcome and our enjoyment of your presence and voice here aren't going to diminish in any way. You're still wanted here...
