Hope you don't mind me reviving your thread, JD.
I just wanted to say how great it is that you post lots of affirmative support here, especially for blokes experiencing the same horrors that you went through. Sometimes men get the wrong kind of feedback from women (guilty as spoken, I know ...) so it's extra cool when male members speak up.
[bad joke lol @ 'male members'

I think it's courageous of you! You're still going through your own crap, but still have time for other people ... and I thought a chef never has *any* time!!
I also thought a chef *never* has any self-doubt! But know you're still hurting, at times. Bear with it - and thanks, for all the encouragement you dish out here
