What is SG and GL? I get lost in all the abbrev.I am new to this group and I hope you will accept me to the fold. You all seem like a great group of people. in fact I am new to this web site and in the short time I have been visiting I have found nothing but kind and caring people who have reached out to a lonely abused individual dealing with a great deal of pain. I was about to give up but my father died when I was 12years old. My mother didn't do the greatest job, but she raised four of us ( even though she kept crying she wanted to die and be with dad) all on her own. I keep plugging on for her. She is way up there in years, but she is the only person that tries to help me. I couldn't check out on her. Thank you Clarita. btd2371  |

Welcome, welcome, welcome! You are far from alone here. While each of us struggles with our own issues, you will find that there are many common threads.... among them there are friends and family who don't always support, there are pain issues with so many of us, there are serious health concerns - etc.! But - the one common thread you will find is that we support each other and look for the sun even when it is raining. And, if it is pouring rain, then we surround you and hold umbrellas for you. And perhaps you will do the same for some of us. I am sorry you deal with such very difficult issues, indeed they are serious and sound incredible painful and difficult. Please stay here and see what you will find with this wonderful group of folks. Hugs, Leigha |

Btw, Hello, and a big warm welcome to the group. I will keep this short, as the other simply great members have greeted you so fully. Will just say, I am fairly new here myself, and am the newest GL but have so much to learn and a far ways to go. I also had quite a traumatic childhood and early adulthood. Many here have too, and now also are living with chronic conditions or serious medical problems. But here we can lift each other up when we falter, and celebrate when we make progress, which is often in baby steps. But celebrate those we do. There are the PM (personal Message) and Chat features too, if you ever need to talk one on one. Don't hesitate to use them any time. I know you will love this group and the love and caring it's members have for each other, and will for you too, I can promise that! Welcoming gentle hugs, Karen Shoot for the moon...if you miss it, reach out and grab a star.
