*********************HI-JACK IN PROGRESS******************************
I struggled with replying to this thread. I feel that I need to however.
Yesterday, after reading the post's in the other thread I became very disturbed about the obvious unsupportive comments that had been made to Angel. So much so, that I felt compelled to reply and make my feelings known. (If you knew me, you would know that getting angry is a last resort.)
I have a hard time getting to the point so bare with me...I'm getting there. LOL
I like everyone here. I have never had a problem with anyone. I have grown closer with some more then others but I think that it to be expected. I try my hardess to be as supportive, loving and offer whatever advice I can in any post that I reply to. I guess, being the type of person that I am, I find it easier and more productive to show love and support rather then "Tough Love".
I have grown very fond of AG over these past few months for several reasons. Not only has she supported me when I have needed her, she has shown me what friendship is about. I find Angel to be a very kind, sensative, gentle person who hurts very deeply. I understand her pain and try to offer my support, love and hugs to her when ever I can.
I do find it very hurtful when ppl go out of their way to be nasty and inconsiderate of other ppl's feelings. I just dont think it is necessary.
Angie, I have come to know you as a very kind person and I like who you are. So much in fact, after that post I PM'd you and apologized because I didnt want your feelings to be hurt and I still dont. I in turn PM'd Pat and try to explain my point of my post as well because I think it good to be open and honest and discuss matters rather then, NOT discuss them. I try my hardest to stay neutral on matters but I feel like I have been put in a position to pick sides and I dont like that feeling at all. I may be the one who has caused myself to feel that way so I will take responsibility there. I want to be clear here so there is no mistaking what I am trying to say.
I like it here, I like the people here. I like the fact that we can offer love and support when needed. What i dont think is needed is cheap shots, pettiness, and unkind comments. I think we all get enough of that IRL.
I am fond of you Angie. I am also fond of Pat. I just hope that this does not change our relationship because of this post.
I must express what my heart tells me and right now, my heart tells me that AG needs me to be there for her because she is hurting.
If I could ask for anything out of you guys it would be to think before you post. Think how you would feel if you received the comments you make to AG. It hurts. Let's just all wipe the slate clean and start anew. We all have the right to be here and to be supported. Sometimes, some ppl need it more then others and thats OK. There is enough of us here to go around. Love to all of you.
