Brent,
I hope that before you read this that you have read VERY CAREFULLY the many words before me. Those before me have said more than I could say about how you need to know that you are special and anything that might have been or was is not NOW anymore.
I couldn't sleep and got up to "listen" because I don't chat here much. I am glad to be here now to try to help you.
YOU HAVE BEEN A VERY INFLUENTIAL PERSON to me and you need to understand the wonderful qualities that you have. I know nothing about you AND I have no idea about what skeletons that you might have. The beauty of this forum is that you get to know the real person. The real person comes out and you are a very sensitive, caring,intelligent,warm,giving, compassionate, considerate, thoughtful, diligent, hardworking and many many more fine qualities that escape me at 12:41am.
I can't make your pain go away and I would never say that you should not feel what you are feeling. You are not sure that any of it is true and if it is then I hope you can find the comfort that you need from your friends here. You have helped so many. I feel blessed that you have sent me kind words and although I am not very "chatty" as some, I am grateful and hope that you know that you can turn to me as with others in this time of distress. Sometimes just continued talking or "typing" is wonderful therapy. I may not be in a great place right now, but when I hear of your need I want to put all of it aside and jump to your rescue as you have done for me. You have stayed up many nights typing notes to me to help me feel better. Please let me do that for you.
Please keep checking in not out!!!!
