Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family. ~ Virginia Satir

As I travel on my journey rediscovering my self-worth and self-esteem in the aftermath of an A and through my D those here at HH have been a nurturing "family".  I want to thank each and every one of you for aiding me in my journey and being my "family".

Thanks for the kind words to all of us here. Families like the ones described in the quote can exist only when there is mutual respect and concern by all it's members. Your contribution to making this 'family' function like that should not go unrecognized.
