In reply to the discussion: I want to apologize to everyone here at DU. [View all]anniebelle

I'd be a millionaire. I think it's just a human response to release your innermost hostilities on those around you. It takes a strong person to admit they were wrong and to apologize. Don't beat yourself up over this episode ~ just let it be your driving force to do what you think is right for those you are trying to help ~ they truly have no voice. My first child was born disabled and I lashed out at my family, friends, God and anyone I felt didn't understand my pain. It took me many years to realize it wasn't them I was hurting, but myself. Take care and if it does happen again, get up, dust yourself off and try to move forward ~ again.

No apology needed. We all go through rough patches, at one time or another. Nice to see you back!
