Many people have honestly pointed out when they thought that H was handing me a load of bs. Sometimes it did help to sort things out. There is a difference between pointing out an incidence of spousal bs and bashing a spouse. If you will look back a few days you will note that I pointed out a lot of ways that I have seen Mrs. Chrome working on things. Don't use one incidence as an example of my general posting style. I didn't bash anyone.
Secondly, your perspective is very valuable and I have always appreciated it whether or not I particularly agreed. If we are going to bash those who have divorced and suggest that they don't have insight then I guess I am right in that camp with you and as I recall, HD is too.
Thirdly, I AM working on myself and my attitude and occasionally I need a place where I can be unflinchingly honest because goodness knows I can't quite do that in the situation I am in. Since when is honesty bitching? It becomes bitching if we don't get over it and try something else. The atmosphere in my house is difficult right now. If I thought it would always be that way I wouldn't bother posting at all I would just give up.
Corri, I understand that several of the R's on the board have had some downturns lately and that whining won't help BUT whining a little and then regrouping is often necessary. I don't mind you pointing out some of our personal frailties - goodness knows we all have them but being harsh about it isn't always helpful either.
