Hugs to you, Have Hope.

I tend to think that it's easy for people to forget that our lives are A LOT more complex than just what we post here. Most of us do the best we can with what we have in the moment.

FWIW, you are very inspiring to me with the proactive steps you are taking to get more training for your job situation.

I know you said you want to move past that particular discussion, but it reminded me of something said in a support group I belonged to a few years ago. Some of the members were lamenting some past choices they had made in regards to sex. One of the moderators said, "when nothing else in life feels good, sex still feels good." That's true, and more so for some people than others, especially when part of that is seeking comfort. It is what it is.
