I am not interested in finding another website; I like this one; I do think you and MANY others have given positive support here. Yes, I agree with your statement about people being blinded by "their own doing or their depression" and I know that often that statement can apply to me, but you also state about your mom "she seems to enjoy making others miserable due to her own depression and negativity towards life and others"; my post was about no one in particular, I was venting my impressions, but could it be that I see in some posts here what you see in your mother? I wouldn't dare say to you that you are "blinded by your own doing and depression" in reference to your mother, why would you direct that statement towards me?
I am on a journey, as are many others; there are SO MANY great people like you here who offer support and willingly accept it too; these are not the type of people that drag me down.
However, (in my opinion) there are many people like what you describe your mother to be in these forums with absolutely no intention of ever getting better; those are the people I'm referring to. Part of my post was just my venting, part of it perhaps was to speak to myself because I too get down and feel like staying down at times, the other part was to start a dialogue and at least be honest about my feelings and discuss this. I apologize if this has hit a nerve or offended you; this was not my intention; I just want you to think that perhaps there are those in here that drag me down much like your mother does you...
