Answer
Kate,

I think you should talk to someone and I usually recommend the same place, they have a website caled optionline.org, including at 800 number and even AOL IM.  I would tell them what you're going through and see if you can get some ideas back.  I've never gotten a complaint from anyone who used them and they're completely free and confidential.  You shouldn't have to do this alone and I would suggest against that, especially if you're unsure about it. Anyway, let me know if they are helpful and if you would like to ask me any questions, I'd be more than happy to help.
