Hmmm. I subscribe to another message board (I know, that’s my first mistake, right? It’s a parenting board) and I’ve been a part of it for over a year now, so I feel as though I ‘know’ the other women fairly well. I was going to go on there tonight and post about some General Sadness I have been feeling, some if it having to do with relationship stuff.
Well, when I logged on, another woman had posted that her husband was killed in a car crash.
I don’t know what the etiquette is surrounding these things, but I’m not going to be the asshole who starts ranting about her own…well, MPSIMS, after someone puts that out there.
Oh, lorene, that’s awful. I mean about the husband. Not that I don’t feel bad that you don’t feel you can bring up your own stuff. That’s awful, too. But not quite as awful as a dead husband, although for some of us that might be not such a bad thing. Did I say that in my out loud voice?
I can see why you feel awkward posting. Feel free to vent here. There’s certainly lots of parents here that I’m sure would be happy to listen or commiserate. (And you’re welcome to email me, too.)
Yeah. By all means, post it here. This is a very supportive place, when it’s not being snarky or outright vicious. Hmmm. That doesn’t sound very encouraging. But, really, it is a very supportive place most of the time. Just look at all the “your prayers needed” threads. And, I’m sure the Aardvark Club, aka BostonDopers, would all rally round.
