Oh Gno! What is going on?

[Gnosis]

I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread at all. So my apologies in advance.

Be my guest. I posted my response here because I thought it could help some others too.

Gosh, reading all of that is weird. I suppose I do hold some keys though it doesn't feel like it.

You have the power here. And yes, it feels weird because I'm looking at this from an objective perspective. You've been in the forest too long and can't tell the difference between the trees.

Have been so depressed since I moved. (See, it's possible for WAWs to feel beat down) & like the world is collapsing all over them.)

I hear you and believe you. It's time to pick yourself up and show all of us the strong woman we know you are.

I never have been back to my house, though one night after dinner he invited me over and I said no because I'm not comfortable w/ that idea and what transpired after I moved.

Good for you. That shows me you have dignity.

And I'm not a saint in all of this either

None of us are. We've all made mistakes. Even the saints as far as I know.

All of this is quite maddening.

Yes, sadly it is.

So, nothing to be sorry about. We're all here to help each other. If I can help and have the time I'm always willing to do it.
