To answer your question, I am done, although not officially D'd yet, and I DO NOT feel like a failure. I give the same advice/info that I did prior to announcing my decision. Anyone who reads me can see that.
If they choose to not see the success that I have become, the growth, the work that went into my decision and look at me as a failure, that is up to them. I do not allow that to keep me from trying to support others though.
You are not a failure and I am sure you have much valuable information to share.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
