to all walk away spouses

[Gardener]

dbs,

Yeah-When you post on here looking for help and get no replies, it's another affirmation that you just could be the worthless no good for nuthin piece of crapolla you've been told about.
You almost have to go back and reply to yourself a few times so folks notice and then start givin some help.
Frustrating at times for sure!

I certainly remember my first post. After reading and lurking, I finally summed up the courage to take the plunge and really bare myself and put myself out there and...nothing. Seconds feel like minutes, minutes like hours.

But I know now after being here a few months it's often a case of so many threads, so little time. But remembering my first foray into these waters I try - as often as possible - to respond to a newbie even if it's just a quick, "welcome & hang in there" or some other boiler plate response - for now.

I will say this though (as I've said many many times before): Look at the Newcomers' Thread list and you'll see that "Views" almost always outnumber replies by a better than 10:1 ratio. There are many people out there who don't or can't respond to any sitch but who read commiserate empathize and pray.
We're never really alone, here.
