One of the reasons many, if not most, of us are here is exactly because we were in a safe place, or so we thought.
Here is a quote I found:
Quote:
The way to be safe is never to feel secure
The safe haven we get here is that we can express our thought, feelings and idea freely without our spouses listening in. The safety we get is the safety to express our thoughts and feeling with others who are in the same boat or have been in the same boat. This isn't the good ship lollipop and I am not Shirley Temple.
Finally,
Quote:
I do realise that you have offered to not post to people at times when they have found your advice 'strong' and in nearly every case that person has come back to you and thanked you - eventually.
And that's tells me that I did help them which is the only reason that I come to this board.
