It's always nice to have support but here's the thing, we really shouldn't be so reliant on what others think and that's whether it's positive or negative. It ultimately comes down to us and it's sometimes too big a risk to allow the influence. Sure, sometimes we NEED it. It's not a stagnant thing. But you can never be sure what someone is going to say. Mothers especially, as you say, can push buttons. So for those times when they get pushed, we have to remain resolved. Surgery or no surgery, you are going to need it. Right now, I have some to spare. I only wish I could share it when others need it.
