I agree. Well said Equus!
BlueMoon,
You did the right thing, and deep down inside you know it! I'm sure it doesn't make it easy and it hurts you by them being angry. But their anger is 'their' problem - not yours! Shame on them!!
If I were a parent, I'd give you a hug. Heck, I'll give you a hug anyway!! (((BlueMoon)))!!!
