A dear friend who has known me for years and knows my writing skills well read my post. (I emailed it to him.) He was horrified because my writing has been soeffected. It hurt so much.... He told me I did a *&^% good job under the circumstances, but it didn't help. I worked for hours and hours on this post trying to make it the best I could possibly manage and apparently it does not have my "voice". That hurts ... "M" took away my writing skills, too.
