[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 317816, member: 6546"] You know, I recently had the opposite experience... I'm generally a very private person....and it's been wonderful to have the anonymity of this board to voice my stress without really "exposing" myself. But the events of this past week proved to much to keep to myself--and I spilled everything to the very gossipy ladies of my church group. Afterward, I was mortified that I had said anything at all (and to the very people who would be sure to spread it all around town!!!) and I awaited the social rejection that I was sure would come.... Instead, we have received calls and messages and offers of help. A woman with young boys even offered to take our son for the weekend and give him some respite from the stress at home. Many people have begun "checking in" just to see if we are OK. It's been the most surprisingly positive experience... I'm so sorry you have not found any such support yet. --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
