Yes it must be a huge relief..You must feel totally liberated and free to be yourself and be accepted as yourself. Look what benefits you are bringing to this forum with your refreshingly honest and heartfelt responses to people's issues and your wonderful insight which the professionals can never emulate in a million years!
