Hello Terri,
I can't even begin to imagine the trauma you went through.
As you can see, this is a very close community. I have not been a member of this community for long, but it did not take long for me to notice that -without exception- everybody is helpful, positive and supportive. A beautiful example is the help Rick received from various members when he encountered misfortune. I myself was very moved by the kind and selfless support that was given to him. I have not seen that on any modelers forum I was or am a member of. There is always a kind word for everybody.
Like the others, I find it very courageous of you to share this with us. I wish you all the best in your healing process and I hope to see you back here with more beautiful builds when you are ready.
Willem
