Kurt,
I got your PM but could not respond to it since your box is full. I of course blame Darrel, who sank my vintage streetsweeper in the cruel cold Atlantic. Oh, those wonderful 48" brushes!!! Oh, those heartless California Dreamin' hippy people... But I digress.
I'll ditch into chat tonight at 5 pm New Orleans time as you suggest. No problem if you don't show up for awhile, or ever! lol We'll just figure out another time.
In the interim, it's really important that you remember that what you did by telling the school counselor was exactly right and the best thing for you. What messed things up was their reaction to you. Don't let this turn you off to the idea of talking to safe people in your local area. This is your way forward.
I hope everything went okay today, but we can talk about it.
Much love,
Larry
