i can't put it any better than how kimmydawn did. i think you have done a wonderful job of expressing yourself without accusing anyone.

people are different and they see things differently. an open mind is needed in order to communicate. if people close their mind and do not want to understand where you are coming from, there isn't much you can do.

the way you have wrote how you feel is better than i could have ever done in your shoes. there is no anger in your words, only a request for understanding on where you are coming from. i hope they can open their minds and at least try to understand. their facts differ from yours i am sure, and maybe this will open up the door to communication and they can express, in the same manner you did, how they see things.

i believe writing is the best start to communication. things can be brought out without the fear, anxiety, or anger of a reaction. i only hope that they can open their minds, consider how you see it, write how they see it, and not accuse you of anything but being open, honest, and asking for a little understanding.

"before you pass judgement upon me, read this turmoil between my ears that most call a mind"

i wish you the best. take care
