Hi wpowers and welcome! It's good to have you here.

I'm with Petunia in that I'm glad you had the caring and concern when you most needed/need it. I personally think that it's awesome that you made it in the life...no matter how you made it. It sounds like you have a good understanding and care for yourself and that's wonderful!

We all survived in different ways with different forms of help. We're so similar while being so different, but the common ground? We're beautiful, inventive, creative, brave survivors!
