Big hugs for Jade and I Am...and anyone else who feels kind of stuck and maybe even a bit afraid.

It's a great idea to open up a topic like this. I know it's hard for lots of people to open up about what really pains them and what they carry around, privately, that worries them. I share this tendency, and have found over the years that I am usually much better off if I am very particular about to whom I will decide to open up. (It's just something that has been reinforced, time and time again.)

Although your kind offer of help is most welcome, and displays great courage and willingness...please don't be too surprised, or discouraged, if not a LOT of people respond...it is characteristic very very wounded people to keep it to themselves...

I do know, however, that any act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever really wasted.

So, Thanks!, and good on you, Alone & confused....OOXOO....wish more people were like this!!!
