Thank you for the insight! I’ll need to do some more cogitating on it; while I had plenty of support back in Maine, circumstances (read: financial necessity) required that I return to Boston for work, with the attendant lack of social network. It’s also worth noting that I didn’t find a lot of support when I came back to Denver; from a few people, sure, but most of us had quite naturally gone our separate ways and drifted apart. It’s a very common problem, I think, assuming things don’t change much when you have distance to muddy your vision.
