Your words are so kind and wise Time0-- thank you.

It's difficult to feel as important as those that reach a "status",in a situation that is based on support, when I have not. I don't understand why there is a need to have a "status" in the first place.. ..... this is just one of many things in my life that I don't think I'll ever be able to accept or be at peace with.

thank you again for your reply-- Time0-
