@Former-Member thank you for last night Hon. It really helped me being able to talk a bit about it - especially getting you perspective - knowing that we share some of the same concerns has made me feel 'not so alone'.
@Former-Member thank you also for your contribution last night - 'seeing' the difficulties you faced at school - and the gratitude you showed for those who helped you - did help to validate some of my own person beliefs.
Thank you both 
@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Former-Member and everyone else who visits TOR.... I am logging off for now - think I may have taken too many pain killers and not feeling great - arm still hurts though 
will ckeck in with you when I can...
