We've had some people post recently and get hit with some 2x4's that don't post again. I'd like to reach out and say please don't leave and continue to post. We are here to help each other and sometimes help comes with a few hard punches. So to newbies who feel attacked and to lurkers who are scared because of the hard advice some get please continue to post or reach out, we want to help.

Take what you need and leave the rest.
However,
wincings_sparkle - If it hurts, it is something worth looking at. If it makes you angry, it is something worth looking at. If it makes you cry, it is something worth looking at.
I was blasted in my first post on SI. It so happened that I was at a point where I was ready to hear it.
Also, newbies can have a valuable perspective too. And by participating in other threads, you can often times gain a better or different perspective on your own situation.

Just wanted to say I agree with this. I have posted a few times and recieved some comments that I thought were harsh or mean, but have later realized that what was being said was the truth.....not the easiest thing to take but I am glad now I did.
Its so important for new WS to realize that everyone on this forum knows and understands what you are going through and how you may be feeling because we have all been there and had the same thoughts and feelings.
Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you.....the thing you think you can't survive....its the thing that makes you better than you used to be.

If you can keep one thought in your mind when you feel attacked, un-heard, or misunderstood, please let it be this one. There is not one person here who wants you to fail. Wayward or Betrayed we want you to succeed in finding love, truth, honor, and your own self-worth.
Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.
