I should logically be able to state, without reservation, which of those five feelings was hurt. However, the reality is that no one can define which of the five feeling categories was hurt, because feelings by themselves cannot be hurt.

Almost immediately, an admin will ask for suggestions, or someone will post meeting times. It's a great way to help get someone back home. <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" data-url=https://fromaddict2advocate.com/help-them-find-their-way-back-home/></div>
