I hope you know I didnt' mean to insinuate I envied you b/c you have a clear picture of X's excuse. I would never say my pain is worse than yours or anyone else's, and I hoep I didn't imply that. I know how hellish it has been for you. What I meant to say that H on top of everything else, I think has shown disrespect in a different but similarly destructive way. Make sense? I hope, a little

Have a great week & will check back soon ((((Hugs)))))
