Chuck, I've started this response several times now and haven't been able to find the right words to say. You're not alone in this. I've felt the same. But I stuck it out and things do get better. I'm telling you they do.
From the responses that I have seen to your post, I believe you have a lot more friends than you ever imagined. Your'e not alone. Hang in there and write back later on to let us know how your'e doing.
