You said before that I have twisted your words. I didn't get an explanation to how I did that. Am I the one who you feel 'put words in your mouth'? Are we talking about the same thing as when you say that I twisted your words?

Hi Angelgirl -- thanks for all of your responses -- to my and to the other posts in this thread. I hope it's helpful. You seem to be really reading our replies very carefully, so it's nice to know that it's not falling on deaf ears. I sometimes feel bad, like we're pouncing on you, because strangely enough I don't even always see you as someone with self-esteem issues because when you reply to other people's cries for help, you give such great advice that I always expect that you are super self-confident yourself.

But about the words... I was specifically talking about when you said "you'll probably all applaud if I leave and back out of this thread" (or something along those lines). It wasn't that you were putting words into MY mouth specifically; it just hurt me that we were trying really hard and then you said you wanted to stop participating.

Anyway, you probably are even tired of us focusing on you like this. If so, please let me know and we can talk about something else. I do promise to be here for you for however long I remain on this board (and if the next two years are anything like the last two, then I'll be here a long time!).

Hugs,
LMo
