Thank you so much for your helpful words and encouragement. It really means a lot that you all post to me. Posting here and getting your responses helps me so much to keep things in perspective and to think on what to do next.
I am not feeling great today as those words are still stinging me but I think I am generally a bit over sensitive at the moment anyway. I know she doesn't mean me malice, it is just hard when people say the wrong things! I had a really bad nights sleep last night and really vivid dreams (probably to do with the fact that I freaked myself out watching a disturbing TV programme before I went to bed!!) and the weather was/ is really oppressive, so I have a bit of a headache.
I am trying to work out what I am going to wear tomorrow for the meeting with my h but hate all my clothes in true woman style so I shall work on that tonight as well as my PMA.
