Hi Poetrylover --

I am returning to the Forums after a long time away. Some of the same people are responding here that I knew best back then. I know that no one intended to cause you pain, and it certainly isn't wrong to say how you felt. Sometimes that's the best way to get what we need.

Other people are not mind-readers, and by saying that, I don't intend any criticism of you or anyone else. In my own experience, I sometimes think that others will magically know how I feel or what I need, without my telling them.

I'm glad you posted to say how you felt.
