It's good to hear from you, Blue. There are a lot of people here that really care. I say this b\c I don't want you to feel embarrassed or think you will lose support.
The good news is that you are bringing this into the light. It's not easy to admit what you shared with the board, but it was the right decision.
I am here for you, and will do anything I can to help. ((Hugs))
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
