Seesaw, thank you very much for coming to my defense.
Open Eyes, I hadn't thought of it that way, but I suppose I am the one in control here.
Tisha, yes there was a lot of over analysis and reading into things -- as for me, I was watching out for red flags. I found them and am grateful to get out when I did.
It is OK when people feel protective, which I appreciate. It is not OK to be badgered (as Seesaw put it) over a decision, especially when I feel comfortable and happy with that decision.
