Duchess - it takes a lot of strength to apologize - thank you for doing so.
If you encounter a similar situation in the future and would like to vent or work through your upset feelings privately, I would be happy to listen if you PM me. I realize that we don't know each other but the offer is there if you ever want to take me up on it.
This goes for other members, too. My life has kind of settled down for now, and I'm finally not too wrapped up in my own problems.

Peace,
LMo

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
