Hi Dawn and sorry you find yourself here for the reasons that you, at least, could have made different choices regarding.

No one will "judge" you here, but you will be challenged. Most newbies will post their first few messages as you did. Busy, lots of words, and that can be a little overwhelming for those who might otherwise support you.

Eventually, members will read through your posts and start engaging you. In the mean time, try to keep your posts shorter and a little more frequent.

Do you have a clear understanding of what your goal is right now, regarding your life and your M?
