Hey, AB,
I'm sorry that you feel rejected and ignored here, as well as everywhere else in your life. It must be agonizing.
Speaking for myself, only, I wasn't ignoring or rejecting you. I was out sick with a sick kid yesterday, and now behind at work, so I didn't read until now. Maybe everyone on babble had a week like that?
It always looked to me as though you got an average number of responses to most (but not all) of your posts. As others have said in another thread, there aren't that many people here who read/post regularly, anymore. I think we've all had disappointingly meager - or no - responses to some of our posts in the past year. It works better when there are more participants. I'm sorry that it felt so far from enough for you. I know that feeling of having no one respond to posts, and it's not good.
It's pretty common for people to come here for support and then have a bad experience of one kind or another. It does seem that babble works better for some people than for others. I think if it is creating a lot of hurt and anger for you, it might be best not to post here. I'm not saying that I want you to leave. I'm saying that the ups and downs of a board like this seem to hurt some folks a lot. And you have so much hurt to deal with in your real life, I hate to see you getting hurt by babble as well.
But if it ever seems like the help outweighs the hurt enough, I'd love to hear from you again.
- Peg
