Maybe that's not what they mean and I overreacted, but that's how I felt at the time. I didn't mean to offend anyone. Thanks again for your support. Hope you have a good day. I can't sleep again so I thought I'd mention this because I forgot to yesterday. Take Care.

Hey Renee,
You didn't need to apologize and you certainly didn't offend me in anyway. My reply to you was out of concern for you. I was just trying help you see that the people who say things that hurt us aren't usually intending to and I was hoping you would see that because it is the only way I can try to help lessen your pain from afar. I agreed and have felt the exact same way as you many times through this and other difficult journey's in life.. I could have chimed in and agreed, rallied with your words but that felt like I might fuel your already hurt feelings so instead I said what was meant to get you to look at it from a different angle.
Please never apologize for posting how you feel or what you are going through!! It was awesome what you wrote because it happens to many of us... I personally just didn't want you stewing by the words spoken any longer because I felt the pain you were in because of it.
