I have never been on it...sorry! I think our website is a genuine resource for us! I am constantly thankful for this sight! I would be so lost without it...thank you!

Hugs to all! Happy Halloween!

I actually caused a stir one night because I questioned if it was a support group or a chat room.

I don't go there much because I cannot relate - I'm on this site for support not jokes and potty-mouths. Not that we can't have fun here too, I just think we try to be more respectful on the 20 years plus site.

I read it but don't post that often. I should say I read some of them. Most seem a bit wild. When I first came to daily strength , I wasn't impressed. I was getting ready to sign off when I noticed this site. I've been here ever since.

It does get very crazy over there! I look for threads that might interest me or ones my friends post in, then I get out!

I don't hang out there too much anymore. This site was a real life saver for me. It does get pretty strange over there sometimes and it seems so clicky.

I went there tonight and I had no idea what was going on but it was not for me. I can't imagine how a new person would feel.

You are right, navaeh. If I saw that the first day I came here, I would not have come back!

I just went over and had a peak----my eyeballs are still burning! I saw no signs of any support going on---mostly a whole lot of name calling. I hope those who really do need help are able to find it somewhere else because they would be scared away from there forever.

I haven't been there, but from the way it sounds, I don't want to visit! I love it right here! Would be lost without all the support from the group!

I don't understand a lot about what is going on over there - seems like a lot of inside jokes and goofing around, sometimes there is a serious post and the person just gets ridiculed. We are not here to feel worse about ourselves ! I so appreciate this site!

I also think it is more of a chat room, BUT when a topic comes in requesting help or support, they jump all over it to lend an ear and offer advice.....i have bennable to pick up that some of these people have known each other on line or other wise for a long time. and have become fast friends...much like what is happening here...I think that eventually this site may make that transgression. Right now I want to thank Talinak for this group, it has made a difference in so many lives it is unbelievable....so THANK YOU

If you want support come here, youwant lively chatting go over there...

Yeh, I've been there too. There are those looking for support and I, like most here, will put my two cents in for those. I want to help, if I can. A lot, I feel I just don't have the same views or outlooks as they do - so what do I say? You're an idiot for acting this way?! Grow up? It's not that I don't understand the emotions involved for everyone going through such bad times, I just don't like the "action" plans for some. It must be youth. I just want peace most of the time now - done with turmoil (or trying to be!)

I've been dropping in on "Children of Divorced Parents" occasionally. I believe it just became a group not too long ago. There are very few members - but it sure can become a healing spot for many as it grows. These children, young and old, need a place of their own. I'm so happy to see that they have one now. It helps me too in many ways.

Oooh - now I have to go back and look. LOL - Thank goodness for this group though. Talinak you did us a real service!

When I joined this site over two years ago,that particular group was not as large and seemed very supportive. However, I was not really able to connect with people the way I have since coming here. I feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful, supportive group of friends here!!!

Thanks to sld1 who I think asked me to post over here when I showed up. It was because of the marital cohabit agreement I ended up here...seems like things have slid on the other sight.

I am so grateful to find long term marriage people here. Even though I did not go to trial, my lawyer told me he would say to the judge any chance he got, Your Honor, this is a long term marriage. To remind him. He said it is because I look ten years younger...

My lawyer told me in 30 years of practice, he has never seen so many long term marriages break up. Including his own of 26 years. I have run into some here in my community and I wonder if now people will hold off as they can not afford it.
