I don't either. Just wanted to put some perspective on the whole thing.

I once gave advice (on insurance) on a board for brca+ people, and there was a person who pretty often obsessed about fears of what "she" would look like if "she" chose to have a mastectomy. Apparently, people would pm her with encouragement, and she would ask them for photos. This person always posted on pretty much the one subject, but was taken at face value...until someone found the fetish site with all those pictures that had been sent in confidence.

It's just good be careful about trusting people on the internet with intimacies.

If SB is real, and she very well may be, I worry about her, as well. This forum is probably not a "safe place" in the psychological sense of the word to post stories recounting abuse. Becoming a parent is often a trigger for abused people, and can bring about a great deal of pain. A forum like isurvive.org is designed to be a safe place.

Good points punzy. I would thank you if I could but the lounge has been deemed a thankless place so I will:clap: for you.

In a nice place
Dear friends,

I say that because I don't think any of you are bad people and given the right circumstance, I feel I could get along with anyone on this site.

The event that I posted about was by far not the worst thing that ever happen to me and I did not do it to try to make anyone feel bad. It was something that was on my mind so I posted it to reflect on something that happened years ago.

I am not capable of writing such Fiction as I heard some refer to it as and only meant to put my thoughts down so that I could reflect on why parents sometimes miss the boat.

If I sat here and posted about every bad thing that happened in my life it would be a nightmarish event. The bad things I just keep to my self.

Maybe it is our paradigms are not the same but when I write something for the most part it is for me. It's a way for me to work out things in my mind so that I can some how realize that people are human and make mistakes.

I ask each and everyone of you who thinks that I am a troll to go back over the past couple of months and pull up my threads and post and find where I am mean to anyone.

I am not Jesus by any stretch of the imagination,but I do try to get along with people. I was given red reps, (and by the way, I still don't know what it means but if it made people feel good doing it then I have no problem with it) for what? For putting a thread up about one of the worst things that has happened to our Country since it's conception, posting about how our water has fluoride which has been proved not to be safe to drink,posting about how mercury is found in most vaccines and are not good for you.

These are things which are bad for you, I was not holding this information back from you, I was providing you with the data that was afforded to me. I never said you were bad if you gave your children shots or took a flu vaccination.

Instead, I was called names and made fun of in order to try to get me to lash back at many of you. Let me tell you on the record that it is not going to happen. I will not respond negatively to anyone on this board.

Why? How can you make friends with someone who would respond that way? How many of you wish you had a friend that you could treat the way you treated me and they still would call you friend?

I am not special, but I have learned that in order to make friends you must give people time to get to know you. Over my life I have met many people and I would say that many on this board are no different than the people I have met in the past.

When someone comes along and they are new and have different views about life, it is easy to not think and say things to them that you would not say to a friend. But how we treat people we do not consider are our friends are usually how we are treating our friends, we just don't know it but they do.

I would suggest you might consider a Blog then. They can be very therapuetic in allowing one to have a place to vent and share. :D

Kurt has been kind enough to make that option available on the forums, simply go to the top of this page and click on Blogs.
