You ALL mean so much to me.


I got kicked big time when I was down today but someone I once respected who called me unsophisticated and basically said I was doing a lousy job of CL over at the LL board


A good many of the members there seem to have left so I can only feel that maybe she is right


but deep down I know I am a good person and have always done my best for iVillage and care about everyone here and at the LL board and always will


Your posts cheered me up so much and Lisa your being there to talk to me meant soo much more then words can say.

Caly: sorry I am joining in late but with dh not working I am not on this after work like before, so PHOOEY on anyone that said anything bad to you recently.

I don't know your Mom, but she is probably from the time frame where children ALWAYS stayed with their Mothers after divorce, but things are so much differently now, and as long as your son made the decision, and he will be flying down to see you, I say toss what your Mom thinks out the window. Again, I don't know all the details, but maybe she still hasn't accepted the person you have become. Give her time, and if she never accepts you, well, I know someone that walked away from her parents as they were giving her more sadness than happiness.

I hope you slept well and feel better today.

I have been on ivillage boards most of the time since 2000, they always go through phases, and yes, some do die off, BUT NOT this board, we are here for the duration and we LOVE all 3 of our CLS! love, Josie.

Caly, have you ever read The Four Agreements? One of the agreements is to Never Take Things Personally. When someone criticizes you, it's because they have a problem with themselves - not with you. So whoever was giving you grief on the other board probably has some issues going on that have absolutely nothing to do with you, and you just happened to be an easy target for her frustration. That's absolutely not your fault. :-)

You always have been good to me, there is just so much any of us can say to each other, for me it is just good to talk to someone who is kind and will give me encouragement and advice, this board is full of very wonderful and amazing people.

God Bless,
