I am very grateful to everyone who took the time to comment on my threads. I didn't/don't always agree with what is said, but I still appreciate that someone who doesn't even know me took time out of their schedule to read and respond. For me, the gist of it is that I don't know anyone here personally. Sure, I found a few on facebook, but even those folks, I have never sat down and had an actual face to face conversation or even a conversation over the phone or via text, so while they get a bigger glimpse into my personal life through social media, they are still not in my inner circle. I say all that say that because I don't know the posters here, I don't get too upset when someone comes across as harsh with me because I don't know if they are really being harsh or if that is just kind of how they are in general. Have I said things I shouldn't have? Probably, but NEVER with a mean intention. For better or worse, I stick to my little corner of the board and don't really go to newcomers or some other sections mainly because I just don't know that I have much to offer there. I'm past all that and moved on to a new marriage and I just don't know what I can say to help someone who is just starting their journey beyond "it gets better, I promise" which most really don't want or even particularly need to hear.
