Maria, I'm with balzingsun. I 'm sure Wildcat was not trying to insult you.I'm not saying you are weak nor vulnarable, but at times when I've asked for advice, responses I have received were good and some not so good to me. But, that is what you call constructive criticism. And believe me, this has made me a stronger person, mentally, when making decisions at a later time, which I know you will too.
So keep your head up and a smile on your face.:)

Maria-If Wildcat didn't care he would not have posted and we all try to be a straight as possible and honest with our answers for YOUR own good. Don't forget to smile.

You learn quickly that some people are just more blunt then others *grins* and you learn to expect it. Hehe

After you get by the initial sting of first hearing from these people (the blunt ones) it gets easier... and now I actually look forward to the 'Stingers' as much as I do the ones who are more gentle in their words of advice.

Like BobbyC said, it all makes you stronger.
