Hi @callalily. Thanks for your support and openness! I just wanted to let you know that I've removed your phone number from your post because, for your safety, we don't encourage the sharing of that kind of information so publicly. However, if you'd like to private message @liz223 (if you right click on her name, you'll see a mail icon pop up that if clicked takes you to a message box), you can certainly share that info there.

My emotional history comes through my mother's side of my family. I only know as far back as my grandfather, who shot my grandmother and then himself. You have to be in a lot of pain to do something of this sort.
