Dear Doodlefrog,
To trace an old cliche, "Feelings are not right or wrong, they are just feelings," I will say it certainly sounds, by your account, that you have every reason to have the feelings that you do.
I certainly do not staunchly support that old phrase, for I do believe that, sometimes, even when we feel a certain way, it can be that we are misreading the situation, resulting in unnecessary angst and worry.
I honestly do not see this as the case in your status, and am glad for you, that you have come to Psych Central, for without a doubt, there are surely many here that can identify with your problem, and offer wise and caring advice.
I have never been in a position, exactly as you describe, so I do not feel qualified to personally offer advice, but I do want you to know that I care, and hope that you find, quickly, answers to your queries.
One thing that I can offer, is friendship, and to be a sounding board for which you can bounce your thoughts and emotions upon. Please feel free to visit my page anytime and ask for aid, if you find you are in need. I may not have the supplies necessary to help personally, but I am positive that I would be endowed with the knowledge as to where you could seek comfort and enlightenment.
Take care of yourself, Doodlefrog, and welcome to this place.
Sincerely,
-Fleeing Bellocq, Muse of the Mission District
