        <![CDATA[ Hi name is Katie and I have been affected by meth in more ways than I write on this message board.


When I first found KCI..............I too was too shy to post for fear I would not fit in or I would say something wrong. I am still pretty new to this site
when compared to some of the vets which I adore. When I would read their post, not knowing they had been around here for a while, I would feel like I
couldn&#39;t say anything to contribute. At times, I felt like ,oh my I think they hate... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ It&#39;s been too long that we&#39;ve talked/emailed!
<br>
<br>
What a story.  I hope you&#39;re doing ok these days.  PM me if you want to talk.  I know how you feel about not knowing how to &quot;not&quot; love them. 
But, I am finding out that my &quot;love&quot; for mine has changed somewhat.  It&#39;s not that desperate, gutwrenching feeling anymore.  (which I am thankful
for). I have learned to back off a little bit when things start looking bad.

Katie brought it up.

But I don&#39;t really know yours either Katie, so maybe you could give me the jest of how meth affected you.

Thanks for kicking your fears to the curb.

will get. But the people here are great and are here to help. We don&#39;t all agree 100% with each other and there can be arguments. But you just gotta look
for the good and leave the rest behind. ]]></description>
