Min,
I wasn't on the board tonight, but just got a call from Robin telling me about your situation. It is a real pain having to deal with people that have an extremely narrow worldview. Just remember that you are smarter and more mentally developed than they are. Some people NEED very simple answers so that life makes sense to them. The big problem is when they try to shoehorn there ideas into situations that are inapplicable. It's a lot like the elders saying the cure for everything is going out in service more. Forget them, you are doing great, so don't buy into the BS. Think of them as children, because in many ways they are.
Just hang tight, you know that there are real caring people out here in the world. Some of the problem might be the letdown after having a great time with friends that understand. I had a little bit of that myself after last weekend. Just remember we are still here even though we aren't physically together in one place. Anytime your need to talk, PM or call. 24/7
Hell, I'd adopt you if you weren't too old. Hang in there, and maybe we can get together this spring and hang out. Maybe we can hit on some mother/daughter teams at the Falls?
