Sweetie, just because you didn't graduate doesn't make you dumb or uneducated. First, it shows amazing strength of character to go back and get your GED. Good for you!

I believe there are two kinds of "smart" in this world. Book smart and street smart. I am book smart. I went to school, got the degree, etc, etc, etc. YOU are street smart. You've got great common sense and have survived things many people can't. You're smart, Jen. Just a different kind of smart. Neither intelligence is bad, they're just different.

You know your limits and you know where the line is that you don't want/can't cross. That's a good thing. Go easy on yourself. You're not a freak. You're great. Try to keep that in mind. PM anytime. You're always welcome. ((((((((((Jen))))))))))
