sdp, I am sorry that you feel ignored or unimportant. That isn't the case. I understand your frustration...when you need to talk to someone, you expect replies. I agree with Minnie in the reasons she didn't post. I re-read some of your posts, particularly the ones where you had zero or 1 reply and didn't reply myself b/c of similar reasons as Minnie. Also, I have no experience with an A other than my husband, so I don't know where lines are to be drawn on extended families. I read many posts a day and I don't reply if I don't feel that I have anything substantial to submit. But it's nothing personal. And no one here knows you so don't take it personal. There are literally hundreds of posts a day on this forum.
