Saw what you wrote earlier Fuzzy, sorry that I didn't write a reply... wasn't in the right place at the time

I am sorry for what you're going through and for what it's worth, validation is you being here... your words, hearts and hugs of encouragement to others... they mean so much to many.

You're such a lovely person and I for one am so glad you're here.

With reference to validation from real life situations, then please stay strong and keep stating your case to those that matter... I know that it takes a lot out of you and is taking time... but you are doing the best you can, it will click at some point.
