I have just seen the new anti divorce busting forum and I am truly shocked. Ok, if you're unhappy about some thing, vent your feelings, feel your unhappiness but move on. Seriously, there is no need to perpetuate such negative feelings let alone hold onto this negativity and hostility.

This board belongs to Michele Weiner Davis. This is what we have to remember. We may not agree with her actions sometimes but it is her board and its purpose is to creatively use the DB techniques for our own situation and to support and give advice and differing opinion to each other in doing so and help find the most effective course of action. In the meantime we create a support network on here that, for me, I could not have got through this without. If you want to follow other techniques and advice, find another board.

I have spent hours on this board reading, when I first started reading old posts to find inspiration and comfort in my desperation, and have noticed this new trend that has evolved. Yes, in recent times there is bullying applied on here, it is obvious, and the trend for the tone on here at times is very different to earlier days.

For me, anyone that spends time on here helping others is giving someone else a huge gift. However show humility in your posts. This is a place for positivity and inspiration for people that have enough negativity going on in their lives rather than experiencing negativity here.

I think that perhaps in the instance of the anti Divorce Busting site, Michele's technique of GAL should be employed, and that means focusing on things in your life that make you happy, your family and friends, your hobbies, your life.

I step off my soapbox.
