[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 687957, member: 19905"] Social media doesn't make me feel that way. I don't get "down" by others' posts - I am glad there are adult children out there, doing well, contributing to society, loving and respecting their parents. I like to think I am one of them. ;) Unfortunately, that just isn't my situation right now. Just like people who are on vacation, are celebrating a success, buy a new car, etc. - I live vicariously through their posts because that isn't me right now. My turn will come. Maybe my turn will come with my daughter, too. I would much rather see those kind of positive, happy posts (even if they are a little exaggerated) than negative, attention seeking, dramatic, feel-sorry-for-me posts that make me wonder what has happened to humanity. You know - the kind my daughter writes. :frown: [/QUOTE]
