One person said "hi, person who identifies as someone's mom" (it was simply off the cuff and completely harmless)......I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
It was like some kind of wonderful/terrible revelation to me. It seriously gave me food for thought...
When I joined this forum, I identified myself, completely without thinking, as someone's mom....
The funny thing is, I have four wonderful children, and Sophie is the name of my dog....
So it's a kind of funny/sad/pathetic/ "aha" moment.
I'm thinking of changing it.
And I'm wondering if you all thought about your user names and whether you find them to be revealing...

That's how i came to choose, this one, back in '07. Although, I must say, at least those who mentioned it that way, to you, were courteous enough to flat out state what triggered them or how they viewed it. I was, elsewhere, and felt completely ignored. And, i wondered if choosing a name such as 'mommy3boysxxxxxx', was off putting? as limiting myself as just a mom. Also, were the ppl I was surrounded by, filled with 'mommy issues'?
It was a different type of psyche board, and as I was working through figuring out, how I landed in the marriage i was in, i was rediscovering my long lost self. I tried to find what fit me, suited me...
And healingme4me,, came to be.
