All journeys end.

I hold the opposite view on support groups. Many are not supportive as many members have their own agenda and needs. I don't need to carry their baggage too, I have my own. Studies have found many cause more stress and turmoil. I like NT, I can come anytime in my underwear, read what I want, ignore what I want, be so happy sometimes I don't have to listen in person to some, but be at a distance and edit it myself if they don't. As I told my PCP years ago when she suggested it "why would I join a group of people who I wouldn't invite to my home?" I have friends who support me, some with MS, some not. I admit I like those who get it, but don't need to seek it out in places. Do I sound snotty? A little. People leave NT too, I sort of miss their posts, but all journeys end. AND I don't do Avon and feel it does not belong in a captive audience situation.

You're free!! Enjoy it. The group in another county sounds good. Sometimes things just gel right. NO GUILT!! MS doesn't mean we all have a basis for a relationship. A common factor is nice,but not everything.
