Glad to hear you made it out of there. I've been reading your posts about this and wincing, and thinking that maybe it's been an "unrecognized good" that I don't have time to get involved in on-line religion discussions b/c I don't think that I'd be able to tell the difference between safe and not-safe until it was too late.
"Unrecognized good" - there's a tradition/philosophy/something that everything that happens is for a benefit, but we often don't see enough of the picture to know what it is. Sometimes we do though... my best example is the fact that I had a one-day stomach flu a couple of months before before I got married, which I did *not* appreciate at the time. But then when I got sick on my wedding day I recognized it as "nothing serious, will feel better tomorrow, and in the meantime do X, Y, and Z to lessen the symptoms" and then I was so focused on not appearing sick (so I wouldn't get fussed over by everyone) that I didn't have spoons left to care about any small problems that happened at the wedding.
