Davina,
When I first joined back in 2013 , reading other member's threads was like they were living on another planet , it would NEVER happen for me !! Some may say I was brave some have thought I was thoughtless, selfish and stupid , it was a painful and very gradual process to find what made me tick , I hope I've found the answer now . I owe some of that to the forum and it's members , I feel I'm now paying my dues and hopefully helping others . One thing I've have learned is NEVER say NEVER ! Consider the alternatives try and be truthful to yourself , once you've managed that then you can start to believe in you and gradually others will start to understand your needs .
Being brave means not backing off otherwise people will continue to control you .
