You are right. The beauty of this board is the wealth of diversity and experience. We are all learning that even if our sitches differ in some ways there are lots of common bonds. We are all also learning that DB'ing ultimately says to do what works which is sometimes frustrating as well want easier answers and challenges at times.
I have benefited tremendously from the reading I have done on this board and also am blessed to have so many wonderful people learn of my sitch and offer, support, guidance and recommendations. It is helpful to me in many ways.
Long ago in my career I learned that a person's greatest strength is also their greatest weakness. Over time I saw this same axiom play out in other professional arenas. I have now also learned that it is true in personal relationships as well. One of my greatest strengths in life has been that I do not rattle easily. I can stand strong during times of great challenge and adversity, but I also believe that this can come off as too cold or uncaring rather than strong and unwavering.
Nothing like a few self-inflicted wounds to get your Monday started!
Stay strong. We are helping each other and many others with the sharing of our experience, pain and triumphs.
