We are an odd bunch, aren't we? When I was recently (attacked, slandered, jumped on, use whatever word you want) on the Straight board, I was stunned that many posts were against me, rather than for me. But just like you Kathy, many of my friends e-mailed and telephoned me privately, to let me know that they supported me. I suppose we are so used to being judged and being afraid of being judged, that this may color our public versus private support. So here, Kathy, I'll be the first of the bunch that contacted you privately to reply to you on the forum as well: I'm glad you are a survivor and I'm happy you are here with us! :smile:
