Thanks guys

I try to avoid FB, I went on it for a while in the early lonely days, but I haven't for months now. It's a set of proxy relationships that have little real value when the chips are down....I found that depressing in itself lol!

I know there have been a couple of support sites that have been plagued by bad feeling and torn apart - it's such a shame that there are people out there who spread bad feeling in the one place genuine sufferers go to get real understanding and support

Thanks for your replies, I'll keep looking. Maybe I'll put up a sign in the local hospital and see if anyone is interested in starting a group.

Bram.
