I couldn't agree more, Kerrie, and you've given me more grist for the blog. I think there are a few tricks to ease it, but you are right: we are operating outside the accepted "norm," and seeing that norm as dangerous.
Quite a challenging path, but we have each other. Try to surround yourself with like minded friends, even if it's via the internet.
I appreciate the brave steps you've taken to stand where you now stand.
