Suzy5654 and selfy: I am so sorry honesty is hard for you, and that other people can hurt you with their words (especially strangers), no one deserves that.

This community, this forum has helped me hold on to my self respect and self love during some very difficult times, and I am so very grateful for the support I receive here (sometimes I really don't know what I'd do without it but cry!). I hope this "safe place" can be a shelter for you also.

You are valued and you are loved...and you deserve to be both!!!
