I think you need to continue to vent on your new thread and call it "The Vent Fest". You need a safe place to do so and this is the place. Even though you talk about things, you still have a lot of bottled up frustration, disappointment, anger, etc. You need to get it all out there.
Have fun w/your friends in CT. Try to relax and enjoy the time away.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
