Chatty,
I posted under the "relate" thread, but want you to know, your words there stung me like nothing else I've seen on the board. No, you didn't say one blessed thing wrong--you said what I too often feel, but would not normally have the courage to say. It made me cry because of self-recognition. Well, now, I realize neither of us has to experience this level of loneliness. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being who you are and saying what you did. I am sure you will never know how much you helped others by your admissions. It was a gift beyond measure, and there are not enough words to thank you.
