Well, that was pretty bone-headed of me... nothing like misinterpreting a good friend :-o> What bothers me is my history -- problems in childhood, problems in adolescence, problems in young adult hood, problems in middle age -- and where am I now? THAT'S the part that makes me feel so pathetic: how little I've managed to accomplish with all the time I've had.

OK, here's a do-over:
I think, in my oh-so-sensitive intuitiveness, that you have been through an awful lot. That is how many of us end up at babble. I'm not certain by whose standards you measure your success. To me, given your history, you are amazingly resilient and determined. As badly as you have felt in the past and the problems you have dealt with, you have doggedly pursued a better life for yourself.
You are strong and brave, Racer. Your compassion and knowledge help so many others, especially here. I wish you could see yourself with the same eyes I do.(((Racer
