would that we were all as perfect as you think we should be. If we were, though why would we even BE in therapy in the first place?

I wasn't "playing". I was never "playing". I worked hard. Any manipulation on my part I see only in retrospect and it was NOT intentional. Yes, your post triggered the hell out of me.

Sorry.

I never shouuld have logged back in.
