It's a deal lol

I agree with the thought that we are like a family on here.
I couldn't have endured this with out all of you. We all share what we
learn and experience along the way in hopes that it may help someone else.
However, of course not everything works the same for everyone.

I've offered support and have literally sat here and cried for some of our family on her. I've wished I could reach and hold a hand or hug someone.
Thinking that I may be helping someone else on here with their frustrations
helps give me a sense of purpose if that makes any sense.

I truly apologize if I've ever expressed anger toward anyone on here! I've had a few rants lately I know and I'll try to keep them in check.
No no NO!!! Don't keep them in check! We are the people who understand - when nobody else does, we do. The whole point of this forum is for us to be able to truly express how we feel, when we can't let it out in our real lives. Take that away and we spend every minute here looking over our shoulders. That would be a real tragedy. Rants are what we do best - they are us at our most raw and vulnerable, when we reach out to another person for comfort and reassurance. And seeing another person's rant let's us know we are not the only ones struggling to deal with this. Keep ranting if you have to everyone. I don't want a sterile happy-clappy forum where we have to pretend to be ok! (I'm not saying anyone else wants that either, btw lol!) I completely disagree with a personal attack on anyone, but I think that's very very rare.

I appreciate all the support, just to know someone is "listening" helps.
You know with a simple "hang in there" or a huggy face.
Awww, me too
