Just read this thread and just read the 'Thoughts for Dutch' thread, both for the first time. People are entitled to believe or disbelieve what they want but I don't really see the need to challenge people unless others are getting hurt by things. Whatever I think of threads like these, all I see on the rare times I read them is people being kind and concerned. Why burst their bubbles or try to make them see things differently?

I've seen threads like these full of contradictions before and may even have challenged points myself but really - does it matter? I think some people need to step back from the boards at times and alter their perspective - if you feel the need to be unkind under the guise of being concerned, something's out of balance.

Thanks Uggers, I've been trying to voice how I would say that. You've just summed it up perfectly for me.

I think some get a kick out of making up stories for the fun of it.
Some are better than others...they dont trip themselves up.
It would be a boring world if we were all the same.

The thread was out of hand when you started it, Suzanne.

If I put all my problems on here you would not believe a word of it BUT those I know in person are the only ones who really need to believe a word I say the rest I dont care if you believe or not .....BUT I will listen to any advice anyone gives as it may be bl@@dy useful!!

Well our daughter has gone through LOTS of crisis moments in her life. She has said to me "Mum I must be very wicked for all this crap that keeps happening". If you read some of the things she has endured you may think what?? Some things beggar belief and would make you think blimey you wouldn't want to make it up.
I have only posted sometimes for positive thoughts for her and been grateful for the kind thoughts and positive vibes sent for her and her family.
So what I am saying is that some people seem to get things happen to them all the time and can beggar belief on NO NOT AGAIN reactions. It doesn't mean it isnt true.
I wish she hadnt had such a hard times cos she is a lovely thoughtful girl who hasnt desrved the crap she got dished out. :-(

Shirley, I was thinking similarly about Jean - if she'd asked for support or sympathy for everything that went wrong for her in the last year or two of her life, she'd have faced the same stuff on here. It wasn't her bag to tell everyone anything and it isn't mine - in fact I cringe some of the stuff people put on here - but I manage to avoid those threads mostly

Uggers I do know what you mean, Sometimes I have needed to offload some of the worry to get my panic under control but I wouldnt air all our family problems .


Some folks dont have family/friends to surport them so their cyber friends can be a great comfort .If that helps then good on em !!
