StarCat, be kind to yourself! You are living out a horror story. It sounds like you are doing all the RIGHT things to try to protect yourself!

I think there are a lot of members here on SR that can relate to your "raw" feelings. I was one of those members. I started posting under another ID, talking about my massive stroke and all the things that I have endured this past year. I basically got chased off of SR when someone wrote they were tired of hearing about "my pity pot". I didn't have the strength back then to stand up for my rights. It was easier for me to stop posting. However, I was like you, I had gotten a lot from the short period of time I was using SR; so I started posting under my new ID "Phoenix the bird" rising from the ashes!

You wrote "At any rate, I should probably steer clear of here (and people in general) for awhile, right now I have way too many buttons that are oh so easy to push. I'm just bracing for the storm that I am sure will come Sunday once G is released." I would like to contradict with your thinking. I feel like you're going to need to use SR even more once G gets released. If you don't feel like starting a thread, do some reading and posting; if you don't feel like doing any posting, than just PM some of your friends here on SR. We're here for you!
