Hi Fuzzy,

Yes, you should NOT "expect" certain things from people............like you shouldn't expect to be abused, to be mistreated, to be treated as "less than"............"expect" is a bit close to needing to accept for me............and some things just aren't acceptable...........any which way.
And having needs, that's far from shameful. Needs are important, needs matter, you matter Fuzzy
And if there are any needs we're able to meet for you Fuzzy...........we're here for you
