Bad behavior

I am writing to apologize for my unwarranted and unpleasant recent comments.  I am in a dark place and should not have been posting at all.  I apologize to Lorita, who lives in a very different world than I do, but did not deserve my sniping.  I have already somewhat apologized to day2nite for not realizing that she was dealing with her spouse in a second round after her parent, a double task that is beyond comprehension.  I hope this apology makes some difference to those I offended.  That's all I can say right now and plan to stay away in the future.  McCott

    Mary, I didn't see the posts you're talking about. But we all make mistakes when posting, especially when we're having a hard day. I expect you're apology will be accepted. Keep posting.

    McCott, I accept your apology.    As Ed said, we all have bad days - hope you're feeling better.

    Don’t stay away and continue to post when you want to. Diverse opinions make us think and that is a good thing. I think we all realize that sometimes we say less than nice things but this is the only place we can do so. We have tough skin too and it is waterproof - things roll off. Hope your dark place is lightening up.

    Prayer works!  I will keep you on my prayer list.  Don't be a stranger, McCott.

    Yes it made a difference.  Don’t stay away.  I assumed you were going through some stuff and that was why.

    Sending hugs and prayers. I’ve been in those dark places and know how easy it is to lash out. Please keep posting. We all need each other.

    McCott, I didn’t see the posts you mentioned but I know that most of us, if not all, have gone through times when the exasperation, frustration, and downright lunacy become so bad that we let off steam. Sometimes I grab ice cream. Other times I say things to my husband that are just wrong, even though I know better. We are only human. Please post. We need each other.

    I agree with the others, keep coming here to post whenever you need to.  I know what it feels like to be in a very dark place.  I'd hate to see you leave.

    We all have times when we have the "dreadfuls," as long as we are not attacking others and just venting, it is understood.  We are all human with all the dynamics and vagaries that exist in being human.

    Do continue to Post as you wish and as it suits, even though we lose our LOs to death, we are still part of this expanded electronic family and continue to be supported and to support others.

    Sending best wishes your way,

    J.
