Ashlee- I have found after a year of doing this, that my friends and family do think I am crazy. They probably think I am weak, and just so blinded by love I can't see clearly, etc. etc. I don't really talk to any of them about H anymore because they don't understand why I am still trying. I rely so much on this sight to come to because no one else seems to get it.
My DB coach told me a long time ago to tell my family "I appreciate your concern, and I am also concerned, but I have to feel confident I have done all I can so I have no regrets".
