[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749989, member: 18958"] Hi Feeling The hotel is not connected to the event. I booked the hotel directly. I clicked the button understanding it was non-refundable. While I didn't like it, I accepted it, believing it would motivate me to get there. If he cancels me, I agree, he is responsible to pay my costs. But how would I get him to do so? He hasn't even called me back. I am not the most assertive person. I am even afraid to call the hotel. How would I have the courage to tell him, [I]you pay for the hotel. [/I] I am seeing this in another way. Had I gone I would have had to pay another $2500 more and meals on top of this. This is a huge amount of money to me. I am looking it this that this is a win. I paid $700. I think I got something out of this. I was very upset for half of a day. Maybe a little bit the next day, and then, less and less. I am more and more suspicious of professionals involved in mental health in particular. At least in my own ability to be helped. More and more I am accepting that I was dealt a hand at birth, and my life purpose is to play the best hand I can, based upon my own efforts. I have been doing that. But these last years have been so very hard. The rabbi I speak with believes my extreme prematurity has made things hard for me, and that now there are therapies. I have very little trust to begin with. I am reticent to open myself up to more. I don't know if this is correct, of this is a product of my own limitations. But there it is. [/QUOTE]
