I am a frequent lurker. I would post my sitch but its identical to cozyp828's so its easier for me just to read his thread.
Go a head and be brave and open a thread for your very own. I found that posting my thoughts and posting my problems was great therapy, even if I didn't get any advice. More times than not, I got advice and it was good advice and leasons that other people had learned the hard way. I also got a lot of moral support and kindness from others.
Again, go a head and post your sitch as it will probably provide you with a lot more benefits than you think. It does require you to be a little cautious in how much you tell and how secret you keep your identity, but I found that the interaction really helps the healing process.
Good luck to you.
