I have let things get to me lately and I shouldn't. I have worked hard to be a positive person and have started to fall short of that for a few weeks. My last blog was that I was down and out and over it all. And I guess that day I was, but that was the wrong attitude to have. Even though this site is great for people with the same issues, more or less, there is still alot of negativity. I need positivity in my life, especially when dealing with two BM's that give my DH and I grief. Where as I love this website I am going to have to back off from it for a while so I can gain my thoughts and my positive outlook back. Thanks for all the input that you ladies have provided. It was much appreciated.

Yep, the negativity has been flowing quite a bit & I've noticed that positive blog entries don't get nearly so many responses as problematic ones! We often post about the bad stuff because that's what we want more insight into - if a skid tells SM that they love her it's great news, and may get a handful of congratulation messages, but that's it!

Mommommom... Honey - you go do that. Get yourself a clear head. Try other sites. Go for a pedicure or something holiday-ish that you love.

We'll still be here. Anytime you want to come back!! Smile And we'll still be here for YOU!! *** A rainbow just threw up on me... and now I'm sh*tting glitter! ***

I don't think that we don't post the positives to keep from 'rubbing it in' necessarily. We all have positive things going on in our lives. But if this site were for that, there would be too many blogs to keep up with. I think it's because certain areas of our lives are good, so we put them on the 'back burner', kind of like filing it away because there's nothing wrong with a particular part of our lives. This site is for venting, and that's what I use it for. Venting and advice.

Yes and No ..Nomorefaking... Speaking for myself .. it was hard for me to write even what I wrote above. I was so excited when I got that text and wanted to come on and share it the day I got it. But I didn't because there is a lot of "if you are so happy why are you here" comments.

I do feel you are somewhat right though. We don't VENT about our happiness!!

Just as so many women are afraid to get bashed for being negative... I can bet there's at least half of that number that are afraid to write some happy mundane things - everyday things that aren't a breakthrough - for the fear of getting bashed for being okay in their situation.
