I have been lurking for a bit and I have noticed a lot of (understandable) anger towards OW lately. I don't want to post and "inflict" myself on you guys when a lot of you are going through hell right now. So, if it is o.k. for me to post again, let me know. Like I said, i don't want to make you guys any angrier than you are. You certainly don't need me as a reminder of the crap in your life. Good luck to all of you.....

Oh, stop it, Duranie....We all here care a great deal about you and all of us worry about you and your situation and we all feel you are exempt from stereotype OW's you find here. The reason for this, obviously, is your acknowledgment of your personal responsibility and your amazing courage and compassion.<P>Everyone here has nothing but admiration for you. Don't get weird on us now. You're part of our group. We need you to bounce things off of and you need us in a weird kind of way. I'm glad you're back.<P>Now. Tell me what happened to you. What did the doctors say and how are you doing? Are you OK and is everything under control?<P>Update, please...<P>Love<P>Catnip =^^=

duranie, welcome back. don't be silly. we could ask you the same, why do you come here even when you know someone could get mad at you? but you still come. so get over it and just realize you are part of our group here too. i think we are therapeutic for eachother. you help us see that not everyone is like our witchy OW's and well, i don't know what we do for you, but hopefully something. take care of yourself and your boys, and let us know how you are doing.<P>happy_girl<P>just re-read it and i hope i don't sound mean, i actually am being nice. it just sounds a bit off. oh well.<P>bye!!<BR>

Hi Duranie,<P>We've been worried sick about you! I hope that your health has improved and that you are keeping up your strength -- physically and emotionally.<P>Let us know what has been happening with you. I know I have exhibited a lot of anger towards the OW in my life lately. But like the others said -- it is not directed at you -- it is directed at the particular person in my life who is making things miserable for me. That is not you.<P>So, tell all...<P>- Heavenly

Duranie,<BR> Come on now, where are you? Where's the update? How can you keep us hanging like this!!!!LOL.(just kidding) Seriously though, Duranie you know we don't see you the way we see the OW in our lives. Just because we may be feeling rage at our personal OW's, it does not in any way shape or form include you. Seriously, I don't even tend to think of you as an OW. You are just someone I like to talk to, and worry about when I don't hear from you for a while knowing your health problems. You are always a very supportive and helpful person here, and it doesn't matter what your past holds. I just hope you will continue to feel comfortable being a part of our group here. Please let us know how you are doing? Pretty please, with sugar on top? *grin*<BR>
