((((Ana)))),
I just saw this thread this morning...and I wanted to tell you how horrified I was to read the responses of your parents. I especially was disgusted with your father's letter. You said that it somehow made you feel ashamed of who you are...I can really relate to that feeling. I know that what Comf wrote was true, but sometimes it's not so easy to prevent ourselves from being affected by what other people think of us...especially people who are/were important to us in an emotional sense. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and adding my care and concern to everyone else's and sending it your way.
Love,
Dana
