Tdaneen, As I read this developing thread, I couldn't help thinking, WOW, it has gotten so off track from the original post, in which you were seeking support as you grapple with your situation.
I was tempted to jump in there and say something about that, but I decided to stay away, because of how uncomfortable I have felt with the more antagonistic threads here. But your most recent post, in which you express your discouragement leads me to say something.
I would suggest starting a whole new thread and maybe wording it in a way that might be less apt to lead to this tangential stuff, not that you "invited" it in the first place. Sometimes starting fresh breaks the cycle of the negativity.
This board can be a great place. Sometimes it is contentious lately, though.
Good luck.
