I tap out...

TG - You need to keep posting. If you don't like what someone posts on your thread, politely ask them to move on.

I'm pretty confident that everyone here who posts on others' threads does so with nothing but good intentions.

People are going to give opinions based on their experience and their perspective.

You recently posted on my thread recognizing that my situation gets multiple opinions on what I should do and how I should see things, and you are right, it does sometimes frustrate me and confuse me.

What I have learned though, is that the best way to go about this is to #1 trust your gut instincts, #2 stick to MWD's philosophy, and #3 take what YOU WANT from the opinions of others. Weed out the advice that you know either does not apply to your situation at the current time, or doesn't fit your philosophy on life.

Ask Jack, Cat, 25MLC, Truegritter, Mach, Starsky, MHL and others... how many times I have blatantly gone against their advice! LOL... I still do it. But they, and others, have ALL offered me something that I have taken and made a part of my approach to my situation. They have ALL made me THINK.

KenF's thought that you need to recognize the reality of your situation may not have been what you WANTED to hear when you opened up your thread, but it really isn't a terrible thing for you to have heard and considered. It doesn't mean that Ken is correct ... you know your H and your situation better than anyone here obviously. But to hear it, and think to yourself, 'am I seeing the reality of this?' doesn't seem like such a terrible thing.

We do need to recognize the reality of our situations at any given moment. AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. And so what if the reality of our sitch at a given moment is bad? We recognize it, make decisions based upon that reality, and act accordingly.

Keep posting here TG. Personally, I think that going through this alone would be much, much more difficult. Be honest about the facts of your situation so that you can get all perspectives and advice... and then weed out that which doesn't fit you or your situation.

That's my 2 cents!
