You must have missed my post then, because I was not slamming you or making you feel not welcomed, Infact I thanked you for coming.
I have said this before, and i will say it again. On the internet there is sooo much room for misinterpretation. We can not see the persons face behind the text they type and alot of times it can be takin wrongly.
It was a misunderstanding between the two of you....You both apoligized, now lets move on and make new friends. Please dont leave because I know how it is to have to deal with this without help from anyone. Its very frustrating and depressing. When most of us have a constant battle with doctors, hospitals and sometimes family members... this is a place for all of US to come together.
Please stay and let me give you support, all is forgiven and gone in my book, now lets move forward.
Huggz to hopefully a new friend
