That particular one has happened a couple of times @Former-Member and while anyone can use any thread (I am a strong believer that no-one 'owns' a thread and the title of the thread should encourage people to post and seek support if that is how they are feeling) but I also think that it is important for everyone to be mindful of other members and where they are 'at' so we don't make the 'situation' worse for someone else.
It was actually someone posting to me that has caused me huge distress previously(and really hurt me) that 'annoyed' me more than anything. I can forgive but I definitely don't forget - and I honestly don't see how someone can do what they did and then think it is all ok now because time has past (although there has been no further contact). Once bitten - twice gone now for me - I can't keep dealing with repeated hurt - I have had enough of that in my life!

@Zoe7yes it has happened a couple of times that I have seen. You do need to be mindful of what the main topic is on a thread too. I think also you need to be mindful of what will triggers someone from their past ans sometimes what you write on a thread that they have a lot to do with, might be appropriate to have that conversation somewhere else.
I do wonder however if the mods say something to someone in the background.
Hi @greenpea my little green pea

@Former-Member@Zoe7 I try very hard not to get too dark if someone is feeling verfy sick. I don't want to trigger off anything so I tryyyy to keep it low key but friendly and uplifting without ignoring the persons pain. It is hard but I don't like to share my grief around too much particuarly when others are worse off than I am.

@greenpeaI understand where you are coming from but we all came across this forum for probably a similar reason. To get some support.
It is not about being worse off than another person. The issues you have are just as important as anybody else's and you have a right to be heard and feel supported.
Whatever is happening in my own life @greenpea, I am here to support you too. Please do not feel like you cannot reach out on here for help. This is what we are here for, for each other.

@Former-Member@Zoe7 When I make you or Zoe7 or whoever laugh that makes me feel better. Nothing better than a good old giggle at silly stuff.Like the fact that a pea, a butterfly and a woldovegle are sitting down have a really nice conversation 🙂
