Hi Yuki,<P>I too have sometimes left MB for a period of days or a few weeks at a time. Sometimes it is just too painful to see all of the sadness here.<P>You sound like you are feeling strong today. That is a good thing, and some of that strength may have come from what you have learned here. I know mine does.<P>Please if you feel down, don't hesitate to post again. Sometimes I feel like I don't get many replies, but I feel like people are reading my posts and maybe praying for me.<P>I don't write back to people often, simply because I don't have the answers. I am going to resolve to answer more people more often. A kind word is what is needed, as we all know that we cannot answer each others questions...only be here for them.<P>Good luck, and use this forum when your heart is strong enough.

I think that sometimes people tend to clique even on the internet. I have visited a number of sites and believe me when you are new, it seems like you are not wanted. It reminds me of high school sometimes. <P>I am the betrayer so not a whole lot of support comes my way. although, I do get some that really support me and my husband in our recovery. (caj, getting better,renee)<P>But, I do read a lot and pray alot. I guess it is called lurking....<P>Good Luck in your marriage and life and remember to be strong..<P>"I can do all things through Him who strengthesns me...<BR> PHil 4:13<P>Mercy

Don't leave......<P>I know it's hard being new..........<BR>I'm in a sad state here...... I luk mostly and post alittle...... sometimes I get encouragement just reading the posts....<BR>Keep praying for me... I really need them since my H is calling in a realtor etc.... I'll be praying for you too...<P>scoick

I too wish you wouldn't go.... <P>I have read your posts but feel a little uncomfortable about responding due to the fact that I am a betrayer...<P>Even though, I do learn from things that everyone says here....<P>Stick around and good luck to you...<BR>

Y M,<P>Don't feel as if you have to leave. You only just got here recently. Remember there are a lot of folks here and it takes time to make cyber friends. It was well over a month before I became comfortable here and found a "click" of friends that I could communicate with. Now I feel as if I have known them thier whole lives and wouldn't trade thier friendship for anything. Stick around a bit longer.<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

Yuki Miaki:<P>I feel terrible that I haven't responded to your posts! Usually I make a point of responding to newcomers (or long time members whose names I don't recognize), but I've been having a private pity party for the past couple of weeks and haven't done so. I've been guilty of just sticking to names that I knew while I was down.<P>I, too, was really disappointed when I first posted to this BB and only got three responses to my post. That's why I started posting to other topics so that people would get to know me and I could get to know them.<P>I'm really glad that you brought this up. What would you suggest to those of us who post frequently to make sure that we don't accidentally hurt someone else in the future?<P>I hope that you get the support you need, if not from here, then from another source.<P>All the best. --HBC
