Hi Jamie and Welcome.

I don't express my opinions too much--but here goes ..... I believe it's great to have a diverse member group on a forum.... that way, we get so many angles and views. After all..... like someone has already said... we are all human... no ONE better than the other.
I look forward to reading all you have to say and who knows --maybe I can help you in some way!!

(PS.... I know an awesome therapist in Oregon.... wonder if you know this person?.... perhaps I could PM you?)
