Ever wonder why that is - why our friends here on this board are so much more help than our family and friends off line.
It's easy to explain really, it's because we've all be there and completely understand. Most of our off line family and friends are clueless to what it feels like.
My sister was a big help when I went thru my divorce but the help was limited some what. She admitted much later that she didn't understand why I didn't fight more...then her own bomb hit about two years ago. One of the first things my sister did was apologize to me for not being there more and for not understanding more.
I remind my sister about that often, when she complains that her adult children aren't getting it - I just say, well it's because they don't understand it and let's hope they never do!!
Here's to all my dear friends who got me through - love you all!
