Sometimes we post on this board at our most needy times. We are all here for support and to support each other.<P>I have noticed that sometimes the postings dont even get a reply. Not just mine others too.<P>Remember even a sentence for a reply can lift someones spirits for the rest of the day, and pull them out of a down time.<P>I am going to try and do this too. Everyone deserves support. Do we work together to reply even if it is a sentence of support or love to everyone

RJS,<P>I hear you...I think we each post to the topics that strike a cord with us, but for people suffering from rejection and abandonment issues...a lack of response just feels like insult added to injury.<P>So, here's my response to you [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Lisa

rjs,<P>I agree! I certainly have plenty of friends here in town or email friends that I could turn to for comfort, but I often come here and post my case, because if I'm going through it, chances are someone else is too--or soon will be. I'm sorry that some of your posts got by without a response, and you know what? I guarantee, it won't happen again! To be honest, I wasn't sure what to say, so next time I'll just say, "I don't know what to say, but here's a hug and my support."<P>Is that a deal, bud, or what? {{{{{rjs}}}}}<P><BR>CJ<P><P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

I think a word of encouragement to anyone is an appropriate response at any time.<P>I think sometimes we get a little too busy in our daily lives and don't take the time to offer a word of encouragement to someone who is a little down. Even if we don't have anything constructive to say, a kind word is certainly worth offering.<P>take care...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

hey rjs,<P>we're just about in the same timezone, when no-one else is on, I'm quite often talking to myself!!!!!! I'm in Brisbane.<P>After a year and a bit of being here, i'm used to it now. I post, and then wait 12 hours!!!!!!!!! Hard sometimes. <P>I'm usually on at about 9.30 pm - 11.30 pm here, after I finish work. It's about 4.30 am in the States at that time, so there's usually no-one on. But I use the time to reply to as many as I can. And do my own post. Then I check when I get up in the morning, and get a nice surprise.......<P>take care of you, and if there's no response for a little while, don't think we don't care. We do. But I'm going to endeavour to pick my socks up......<P>big hugs<P>Jo

Ditto to all of the posts!!! I know that I have been here during some of the lowest times of my life.. I will say that almost always I have had my spirits lifted and there is no way that I will ever be able to repay the kindness that has been given to me by all of you during probably the most difficult time in my life.

We are here, we are here, we are here!<P>I will try to post to everyone as well. I know I appreciated all the support I received when this happened to me almost a year ago. I can't believe that much time has passed already. Never thought I could survive this at that time.<P>

{{{rjs}}}<P>I agree. I've come here when I am down and read posts, but just couldn't do responses cause I didn't know what to say or I didn't want my downer to spread to anyone else. This forum is full of wonderful people... I apologize for not posting replies more often.<P>Lori
