Thank you very much for the hug, tealBumblebee. 
I have been *so* upset about this lately, and felt so alone. As though no one understands what I am going through. The hug reassured me that at least some one cares!
I must admit that I am pretty disappointed though. It is hard to believe that so many people read this and couldn't relate, didn't care, or didn't have time to respond in some way, etc.

Pretty crummy statistics.
