Frank, I don't think it's as much being stuck in their ego as maybe after seeing someone come out of the gate strong and be strong as I was for so long...they don't know what to say to me now that I'm at rock bottom and floundering. Some no doubt like seeing that but most I think just expect me to bounce back because I find a certain scripture and while that has certainly been enough in the past, this deep in the fire requires MORE. More of me and more of everything else, too. The fact is, just saying "Hey, I'm still reading and rooting for you" HELPS. That happens rarely though, except for my tiny die hard circle like you, COG, BND and a couple others. You know what? Thank you.
