All I want is for you to be aware of how terrible an idea that was--and how much all of us have a right to be angry with it. Nothing but time might fix that, but no matter how furious we are you're still one of us. If there's guilt you have to carry, then there will also be those of us that will give you the strength to bear it and who will catch you when you do happen to fall.

...I've had family turn on me before. I've been isolated, ostracized, and very literally demonized. I will not see it happen to anyone else here.

I can't entirely forgive you for what's happened. But I don't hate you for it, either.
