I think I've been here for about three years now, coming here as a result of a failed relationship. I immediately got loving and wise support, without which, I would have been lost in my attempt at recovery.
I had joined another all women's forum at the same time, and quickly got the comment, "Get over it!" and impatience with my struggle. Not so here on PC. The compassion and empathy from people who had been where I was, was what brought me thru!
Because of this experience, and my wellness now, I try to do the same for others coming here with similar problems. Also, I've made some great friends here.
Since I don't confide to people who are physically around me, it is great blessing to know I can come here with all my foibles, even making some mistakes occasionally, and still be accepted.
