We want so much to be validated, and sometimes it's just not there.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing, Rose. Good idea for me right now. I will just say thanks. I was at an alanon meeting the other night and some well-meaning ppl gave me advice. I just said, "I will consider what you said." and kept my voice *way down*.
No one deserves to feel bad.
