Did finding out more info - peeling back the mask of the unknown a little - put you at any more ease than before your conversation with your D16? It is odd how sometimes knowing something, even if it's nothing, can set our minds at ease. Maybe it's the reassurance that whatever the information was, well it wasn't something ELSE that is the worst thing imaginable and, of course, has crossed your mind at some point.
That may be one of those paragraphs that made sense in my head only and doesn't transpose well...
Have you ever met anyone from here (this MB)? You're from a heavily populated area so the chances of being near someone are decent. There might even be a DB support/accountability group (if not, not a bad idea).
