Being new here and not decided as to how far to place foot into unknown water, please permit observations on recent events. Is always best to exercise caution when expressing views in open forums that may tend to cause consternation or anxiety to friends and assume facts not in evidence. Wolf in sheep clothing have ears of two animals.
Would also suggest brief respite from taking on new associations, but rather confining support to known family members with proven value in long association. Beware recommendations that come from long distances, such intelligence is attended with much risk. Advice of trusted friend is always best advice.
Now is always good time to reach out to the troubled and needy if only with kind words.
Even familiar kitten can inflict serious bite.
