I'm going to stay because it's you, but if this is going to work I need you to HELP me, not hurt me like she did. I don't think you will, but I'm warning you that I am hypersensitive and yes I'm seeking help, but you need to be forewarned that this isn't going to be easy.

If I need the skills anyway, I may as well get them in a class with familiar people, an instructors who is AWESOME, and while I have access to professional help. But you need to know that I have been burned before so as much as I like you, it's going to take me time to trust you. Please be patient with me.
