For what it’s worth (and as you all know I’m super sensitive) I don’t think anyone was harsh I think all the advice given was excellent but GW is not in a place where she can receive the advice as it is intended
I agree with Karen GW in that you need much more than an online group to get you through this. I’m pretty sure any professional will give you the same advice as you have been given here but it is better to hear things in real time and space. When you are face to face you have the advantage of facial and vocal expression so that there is less confusion as to how words are intended. The therapist can also follow through to make sure you are ok. Much love to you GW and all the sisters. XoxoAgain sorry to all of the sisters.. I agree with all of the advice and I take it back that the advice was too harsh.. you all were just trying to help. I already have a trauma therapist who is giving the same advice.. although she says it is okay to be at my own pace on the journey.. and I think you guys think that too.. I just had a bad day .. and I do hear your advice and I am acting on it.. I was tested for std’s yesterday and got meds… I did hear the advice and acted on it.. anyway, so sorry for all of the posts.. hoping the meds will help.. I will check back later when I am more along on the journey.. meds should help .. and I will continue to call for legal advice, hotlines , and look for a PI.. much love and thanks for all of you guys for this part of the journey.. so sorry for the e-mails.. I think I was so happpy to find a place to vent that I got stuck on that part of the journey.. I will check in in a couple of weeks..
I’m sorry you feel you can’t vent here GW because people vent here all the time. I wish you all the best and I hope you do know everyone does has your best interest at heart. Were like snowflakes, were all different in our presentations however each is more beautiful than the other. Hope that’s not too corny. Much love to you GW and your girlies. Please take good care of you and remember your a great person and mom. I think you are traumatized and I understand trauma and it can be debilitating however it does get better with help.
Love, NapThanks so much NAP…… I am taking the advice.. my journey is just not as fast as I think the sisters would like.. and I am a big believer in everyone facing their life journey’s at their pace.. which is just what I am doing .. really wonderful advice and a great website.. you guys have all been like beacons of light along my journey.. and I appreciate your light shining my way to my next part .. which would be to leave the venting behind and to just act on the advice.. two laywers called, std testing done, meds.. done.. started today.. hooray.. hotlines called, numerous times and today.. looking for a PI… so advice is being taken and I am moving on from venting.. there is no time or place for that.. forward is the only way to go
GW, glad you posted your update. It is a tough and worthwhile journey. Keep posting. SOS is here for you. We are a peer support group which is extremely important for women’s mental health. I speak as a nurse here. In the field of perinatal (before and after birth) mental health, social interaction with peers is absolutely key, no matter the other types of professional help or services a woman needs or gets. And, it is extremely hard to get, especially without it being skewed for a profit motive.
Our job as peers is not to be professionals. JoAnn is always here as our capable moderator to prevent abuses of any kind.
We are so lucky to have each other with all our crowns, warts, manners and cuss words. I have healed more from this site than anything I tried, did or read from 1991 forward.
Sticken with the hood.
