Dari,
I re-read your first post and found it a very eloquently worded statement of what you were experiencing, and I really liked the way you asked for feedback (to hear from others who had similar experiences, etc.).I want this to be a safe place.
It is unfortunate that on this board, someone (any poster) could take your experience and tell you what you really think/feel/mean/should do/should be or do any other of a number of unsupportive things.
Gee, that's how I grew up! People feeling free to step all over my own statement of what something is like for me, and tell me it isn't so, and sometimes why it isn't so, and then what I should be feeling (if I was normal), and why my own experience was wrong (abnormal).
Whew!! Took a lot of work to get on the other side of all that. And, I can't always stay beyond it, can still get sucked in to believing I am wrong or at fault or abnormal, whatever.
Anyhow, I sure wish you had had a better experience. I think you are dealing with a LOT right now, and I want you to feel you are not alone, and that you can freely share your own experiences.
Not saying this very well. I guess I hate it when people who are reaching out get the rug pulled out from under them.
