I guess I never quite thought of that. I guess it really depends on how well they explained it. When I type, I have a lot of time to reflect on what I'm going to say.

I don't think I'd be the type of person to kick someone when they're down, but if they failed to explain it properly then I'd probably be really hurt. The more and more people I talk to about this, though (as well as posting on this forum) the more practice I'm getting in being able to form these words. Eventually I hope to come clean to everyone, but its easier and easier to find the proper words the longer I wait.

That sounds reasonable. And there's a huge contrast between this attitude and saying "I'll never forgive myself". I still think you are being extremely harsh to yourself. More than you would to anyone else. And I just don't think it's fair.
