I'd love to offer great pearls of wisdom that will get you through this and get you to a bright sunny day on the other side, but right now nothing comes to mind. I guess about all I can offer is stick it out. Its not much but its all I can come up with with out coffee. Beamer Good Morning.

(Poor reference coming up) Dogs who are abused do it too, even if they're meeting someone who has never hurt them. It's ingrained that being petted and having someone talk to you nicely means you're going to get kicked in the ribs repeatedly until you pass out. I'm not sure you can un-learn it, but knowing that you do it is a big step towards changing it.
