One thing I think about a lot is if we are all spending so much time on the site reading and posting, does that keep us stuck ruminating on our sitch and is it a bit unhealthy? Just a thought.
That would depend upon the individual. For me, it was my therapy. I was in an EA when I found my way here. Then after I made the decision to stay with my H, I begged him to go to MC with me....but he wouldn't. So, I continued to come here. After we became stronger, I could have left the board.....and have considered it several times, but I have stayed b/c of what it did for me. If I can pay it forward, that's what I'd like to do.
I do believe if it's more of a hinderance than help, then one should move on. Yes, I'm sure it could get depressing at times. I have sat here and cried for people who are in so much pain. However, the success stories make it all worthwhile. Besides, I have some special people that I have met here.....such as Mr. Bond (whose had my back more than once). After a time, people get to be like family.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
