Re: I know you are all reading | | I struggled with whether to say this on the board or just email Sarah privately....I put it here to just be open. I caught up on everything last night and decided to sleep on it before really deciding how I feel about it. Enough about me. Sarah, I am sorry this happened to you and sad for all the ways you've been hurt by this. I would never think of you as a monster, nor would I use that word to describe your husband. I am going to refrain from judgment about him, both positive and negative, because I don't know him. What I do know is that you are an intelligent, caring woman, and that you have the strength and ability to do what you need to do for your own happiness. I support you in all your roles - as a friend, a mom and a wife. I'm also sad that things have blown up like this and hope that everyone can heal, whether it's with friendships intact or moving on separately. Finally, Sarah, I appreciate the time, effort and money you spent on making this community for us. I haven't really decided what do...stay or go, be on multiple boards...I might just take the opportunity to scale back a bit and spend less time on the internet. I've felt conflicted about how much time I spend here - there is true value in nurturing real friendships, which is what we do, but at the same time I need to do a better job of focusing on life off the computer. Easier said than done. Anyway, love and hugs, Sarah. |
