Peaches, I have posted and posted and posted to you and so have many others here. Whatever we say bounces off of you. You are still in the same place. I was trying a different route because the other route wasn't working. You know the definition of insanity, keep trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

I am not your FOO and you are clearly triggered right now. You made a huge blanket statement that I don't understand anything. Wow, I have spent so much time reading and responding to your posts over the years.

No where in my statements did I say that you should handle your pain alone. My statements were meant to direct attention to your strength. Increasing your strength cannot be a bad thing. Increasing your strength can help you use the resources around you better.
