The hardest part of Fb for me is seeing photographs of, for example, a friend remodeling her adorable kitchen. It's tough, because here I am, grateful to be able to rent a tiny 1 bedroom apartment. My therapist tells me to stop comparing. And it's true, everyone has their burdens- even if it doesn't look like it.

Everyone has their burdens but not everyone has our burdens. I know I could make my life look happy but it’s not how I feel. For me it’s the relationships, the group shots, the multigenerational families. My parents are narcissistic, my daughter knows that, my ex husband is what he is, my daughter knows that too. I can’t fake that stuff. It’s not even about comparing . Facebook is like work or church, stay positive, be positive .
