It seems as though this board knows more about the status of my mental health than I thought was necessary, and I continue to be made to feel small and humiliated.
Everyone here has judged or made gross assumptions about what you think you know, and it's disgusting. Even those who may not have openly expressed it here have judged. What hurts the most is that those of you that I thought I was close to chose to let one thread change what they thought of me without even trying to find out what was going on.
I've taken some time to myself. I've gotten some help, and will continue to do so. But this place is not good for me. If anyone here feels that I intentionally tried to hurt them than I apologize.
I have not gotten involved in any of this because I honestly didn't know what to think. I think it is a good idea for you to lay low and get healthy. I went through the process of becoming a certified foster parent and found great boards over on adoption.com. There is one you may appreciate and find some support and people that have gone or are going through some of the things you deal with. Lurk for a while and click on some of their blogs... forums.adoption.com/birthparents/ Good luck
I have never responded to your posts but I do know your backstory.
I think in the defense of those who are close to you and making assumptions based on that one thread, I would think it would have been fair to give them an explanation but you never came back to defend yourself. So, yeah, assumptions will be made.
Even now, if you feel that you were close enough to them, an explanation would have been nice.
Either way, it doesn't matter. I think it's good to break away from this place and work on yourself for the sake of your children. Good luck to you
You know, your post is totally unfair to your friends. People defended you and accused others of being gross for not believeing you and for dragging it out.
I do wish you the best of luck in whatever it is that is going on in your life.

It amazes me how a person can go lying about stupid stuff, get called out on it, and then come back to the board and call everyone judgmental and mean. Could have at least sent out the gift by now..
so, we're all disgusting. even the people who defended you with gusto. you aren't going to update us on anything (cough, SS). you are getting help, yet (no offense), you sound a little unhinged, even in this short post.
