[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2736499, member: 372207"] Hi [USER=572522]@LivingLightly[/USER] , good morning. I woke up thinking about my post last night and didn't feel too good about it. So a quick log in on my phone before my morning swim to try better. You are always friendly, always thoughtfully and supportively replying to whatever happens in other peoples lives, and I should have thought of this before letting my Dutch directness out in an emotional reply. Needing help, admitting you need help, can be very painful, and there's shame as well. Too many people keep surviving in a horrible mess because they're too ashamed to ask for help or let someone see the mess they made of their life. Which is a bigger version of you having to clean before a cleaner would come. I have been in that situation, a good friend constantly lives on the verge of it, I've seen it with my father. So it hit home a bit too hard and you received a knee jerk reaction where a friendly explanation would have been so much better. My apologies! [/QUOTE]
