I find it appaulling how some (note I say some) feel that since they post frequently on these boards, their comments (esp those of "take what you want and leave the rest") give none of us who are fecking drowning a positive lifeline
Personally, I find the most helpful comments to be the ones that are straight up and honest. I am the master of trying to minimize and convince myself that an unacceptable situation is acceptable. When I post on here it's usually because I know I need a dose of reality that I don't get from my friends/family. And even though I've read some comments that are sometimes hard to hear I know they come from someone who's been there and is just trying to help. Kinda like that bitter medicine that's hard to swallow but is necessary.
JMHO
