Thanks everybody,
I treasure what you all said. I'm embarrassed to say that I called the people that I confronted to apologize for the "way" that I confronted them, and thier reponse was worst than the first time! One person hung up on me. I cried a little, but afterwards I felt even stronger. Like maybe I needed to see the truth for a second time. It made me even more committed to loving myself. On my birthday this saturday, I'm going to get a massage, then go to a comedy club and have dinner and a decadent dessert. I'll be doing it for all of you also.
God bless you all,
dorsey
