Hi zoopropa,

I apologize for being absent on the forums for a while but I was here earlier & keep up with everyone

Just wanted to offer some support--I'm kind of proud of you...a new friend is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! And connections are so important, i think it's amazing that you "went there" with someone you felt a bond with. I could totally see myself doing that, and it's important to reach out to people...without judging it...and if you felt a connection with this person and felt they are genuine, the natural thing is to want to open up, especially since you are having a hard time right now. It's just really hard to keep things that are SO HUGE to you, from someone important. And if you felt she was cool, she'll be cool about this situation. It would be surprising if she didn't respond with compassion, and maybe it's a step forward for you.
