Thanks for stepping forth to respond. I... without trying too hard to find my own words -- understand, or experience for myself, the difficulty in trying to communicate about such a situation. These days, I no longer try too hard, and I tend to keep things brief, myself. Only if someone seems both genuinely interested and capable of understanding, will I willingly go further. (I still kick myself for those times when I slip and say more than my intuition tells me is wise.) I also should qualify my comment by saying that I don't want to cast myself and the worst of victims. Such experiences are so personal. And it's difficult when someone wants to "lay them out on the table" with a measuring stick, and probably also whatever brand of Scotch tape they happen to carry. :-)
