I just wanted to briefly thank all of you who gave me a boost during my recent family Christmas. I feel a little embarrassed about my rant and meltdown, not to mention disloyal to a family that I adore and is really wonderful despite everything...but I was most upset by some of the comments, and you guys all helped me regain my equilibrium and maintain a smile during some of the most trying moments.
Some of you were thoughtful and sweet enough to send me private messages, and I'm sorry I haven't responded in person yet. I will do so, but please know that I appreciated every word. Anyone who fears they may have spoken out of turn need not worry for a moment.
Thank you a million times over to the best web community out there, bar none.
