Now, hairdog, c'mon. You're a smart guy. Where did I EVER say that being okay with the thought of never ML was a hoped for outcome of anything???? I never said that in a million zillion years. I said that a person might be afraid that exploring their feelings MIGHT lead to acceptance of things that at the moment seem unacceptable and that would make them NOT want to explore their feelings.

Unless you're responding to the posts about Church teaching-- in that case, I withdraw my comment.
