[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 315882, member: 1991"] Thanks, DF. Never forget, that in helping one another here, we are helping ourselves too. I'm glad you posted this. it's an important point - sometimes someone will be especially needy for a while (hey, it happens to all of us, we all have our rough patches) and then the person starts to apologise for (they think) monopolising the site. The thing is - there's no need ever for anyoone to apologise. It's what we're here for, and I find at least for me, I NEED to feel that all the garbage we've been through, can at least serve SOME purpose by helping someone else. Then I don't feel quite so traumatised by what we have been through! And then there's this - if we can dump on one another here, in this site, it spares the people in our personal lives nearest & dearest from feeling overloaded. This way we vent here, then it's easier to smile and slog on through life, where we live. It all balances out. I can tell people here, stuff I couldn't even tell my closest friend. Thanks, DF.
