This is pretty light duty stuff compared to what Heather lives with in her M. If she cannot practice standing up for herself here with anonymous strangers then where can she? Heather seems fine. She seems able to say what she needs to say here. Why do you have a problem with her taking care of herself. I mean, I understand your concern but I'm saying that I think it is misplaced. I have found the folks on this board to be a great source of support, the straight shooters do so with a great deal of love and compassion. I think if you are patient you will be able to see it this way too.
