NG,

I tried to reply to your post, but it was deleted.

I didn't mean the 18 months of hell to be mine alone. I thought I said "we".

I really felt your hurt then. I was embarassed by my actions and knew I had done wrong. I don't deny that I tried to "duck and run" from hearing how I hurt you. I still do.

I never thought that my saying "doll" would hurt you as you say. Neither did I know you missed hearing it from me. I'm sorry.
