I love this group and get on here at least once a day. This has been somewhat of a lifeline to me. I love the fact that we are all in the same shoes and can lend a hand.

Best thing I ever did besides getting hubby to the doctor was logging on to this site!

I agree with Angel.. Some of you have saved me from insanity. I dont think anyone on here really knows how much their stories or words can REALLY help someone.

Im glad to be apart of this group. Im here even though I dont always post. Sometimes I get overwhelmed reading thru the stories because it makes me relive some tough times in my marriage and i have to take a break from it or I become consumed. But Im glad I found this place because it has been a great source of strentgh for me. Im always avaliable if anyone ever needs someone to talk to just PM me and I will listen and help in any way I can. WE ARE NOT ALONE!

Thankyou guys. I found this website a couple weeks a go and I check on every day to read up. I haven't really posted other than in my own thread, mostly because I'm inexperienced and still trying to learn and don't want to give bad advice. You guys probably don't know and I guess there would be others like me too but you have helped me rationalize certain aspects of my BP partner.

Previous discussions I participated in:

No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from dragging me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down"

I don't always check in, here, but I just want to say that if you send me a PM, I will be there, ASAP. I think a lot of times, even though something someone says strikes a chord with us, we don't always say something, thinking that the other person is too busy and doesn't really give a rat's you-know-what for us. I think that if I were to receive a PM, I would know that my thoughts were at least in line with someone else's, and that would have the effect of encouraging me.

So, if you're afraid someone is going to reject you because you send a PM, please lay that thought aside. REach out. YOu never know just how much you could be helping or could be helped!
