About seeing more views than replies to a thread, that is always the way it will be at online forums. Remember there are several reasons for that. Every time someone clicks to look at the thread, or to look at the next page, it counts as a "view." It also includes you looking to see the replies, and people who have already responded coming back to check and see how you are doing. It is true that some people will read a thread and not reply, and that is okay too. Nobody needs to feel guilty. There are several reasons why someone might not reply. They might just not know what to say right now. Some come back later and reply after they have thought about it. Some have already answered one of your other threads and don't have more to add to what they have already said. Some may be overwhelmed and unprepared to respond. Please accept the responses that you get, and know that each time someone read they did care enough to read your thread, possibly more than once.

I am sorry that you are dealing with so much right now. Just remember that we are all here for a reason, and others are going through a lot too. Sometimes we draw comfort from each other's company, and sometimes we give comfort to others. Sometimes giving and getting comfort are pretty much the same thing.
