Mr2.4, thanks for sharing your situation. Sounds like you you have come a long way in a very short time - much shorter than what it has taken so congratulations on that part and keep up the good work.
Many similarities in our situations so I appreciate your posts and can relate to your sitch. Agree with others here that unfortunately hugs, ILY, etc... will only be viewed as pressure or manipulative for now - learned that the hard way!
Keep up the good work.
