Pandora, we all need someone to talk to at times. However, I agree with you that it behooves us to try and work things through ourselves, use THIS place for venting and try and not 'burn out' our friends and family.

To help me, I used to say to myself that when I began to talk about this to others, all they would hear was 'blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

Stay strong.
