MUE, I often feel so troubled when I read your posts, because I see you minimizing or dismissing your own distress. It sometimes seems like you think you're not allowed to feel bad, that you have to deal competently with whatever bad way anyone treats you. That if you can't, it's your own fault.

Sometimes I wonder if some of your unhappiness comes because you don't let yourself protect you. I know you often write about how the people in your group don't listen to you, and that sux. But also I wonder if the most important person who isn't listening to you is. . .you.
