Thanks Zwangsstörung,

That's quite a user name! Yeah, I do not plan to change my user name here. I do not dwell on the name I created and I think it is appropriate for this site. No one outside of this site knows it.

I avoid criticism unless absolutely necessary, no more than I talk to daughter in law, there is not much opportunity to criticize. I have always been fairly successful with communications. I was a fairly high paid health care professional and had to deal with lots of people.

I think the problem is that I went through a really bad period of time 5 years ago with severe depression, acting out (not around them exactly) and multiple hospitalizations for all that. Things have just gone downhill from there. All these relationships pretty much went out the door with my mental health.

For sure no one wants to discuss anything about it with me. That conversation goes nowhere fast!

Thanks for your thoughts.
