[quote=Anonymous]Op here. I do think there is bullying and it may in fact be a small percentage that are responsible for that. However, as an open forum we have the opportunity to collectively contribute and set a standard. It may be frustrating to read the nasty stuff, but one should go ahead and post the correctly placed positive and helpful feedback nonetheless.

I have been thinking about that poor woman with the 1 year old all evening. She must feel so alone and horrible. Its just a nightmare. So sad. I wish I could find some way to help her- maybe point her somewhere.

I am reminded of my mother (who died 20 years ago) describing what its like to essentially be given a death sentence (like the 3rd time she got cancer and it was terminal this time). As she put it "You cant jump out of your skin." I know that feeling. The moment where you must face the unthinkable. Its where strong souls are made, or reborn. One steps up the plate not of one owns making.

This humble place is very much part of the human condition. Its experienced all over the world every day. I guess we can be thankful that we live in a society that at least in part will support a woman choosing NOT to be with a husband who gets "happy endings" at the massage parlor while she cares for a one year old at home. The fact that we view it as a personal decision as to whether she chooses to stay or go demonstrates that we have very different terms of life for women than many other countries. Yet suffering and injustice are far from eliminated. And that personal moment of reckoning for someone else's actions, from this there can be no guarantee of immunity.[/quote]
