Thank you to both of you for the responses! I do have a tendency to be a “people pleaser” and I am working very hard at being less concerned about others’ opinions of me–easier said than done at times! We definitely feel that we are on the right track, it’s just hard when we don’t have the large group of “friends” we are used to.

What’s even more silly is to realize that those supposed “friends” we had before weren’t all that supportive of us either, so I guess it is better to start over, to a certain degree!
