You don't need to apologize. It's a touchy topic for most people.
I wasn't trying to lecture you, though. It's just that in the first part of your post you seemed a little frustrated and like maybe you just needed a bit of a push. I wanted to share my perspective from past experience, not talk down to you. I'm sorry if I pushed too hard or crossed a line. It wasn't intentional. Text probably wasn't the best choice for conveying tone for that on my part, either.
Like I said, you should do what makes you feel both safe and comfortable. I don't think I can offer anything beyond this, though, not without knowing you personally. I hope you find what you're looking for, though.
