My promise

[Denise]

Hi everyone

I feel so selfish lately

I promise you all, whether good or bad news comes my way that I will be on here helping you all even if I can't contribute to legal things

I'm just struggling right now but know I want the best outcome possible for you all

I hope my pity party ends soon and the days where I can smile even for a little bit come soon

Xx

Denise.
Your priority MUST be your own case. You will have your time when you provide support to others.
Right now you are going through a rough time.
There is NOTHING selfish about accepting support.

Take care

Absolutely!
We all need support - that's why we are here!
Don't beat yourself up about it

[RFLH]

first you - second everyone else!

If it wasn't Lent I'd send you a slice of cake, but the best I can do is send you a virtual slice of my birthday cake (bad planning on someone's part!)

Take time out and recharge your batteries - you'll feel so much better for it and never feel guilty for not being here. Dip in and out when you're up to it.

[Denise]

Thankyou all

I still am not confident offering legal support, mainly because I'm still clueless about it despite the past 5 months

But I will still help in any other way I can

Denise, I echo what they all have said.. recharge your batteries and dont feel guilty or selfish for not being here always.

Also, we can offer beyond legal support :-) like how to cope up with this situation and sharing how the process went for our case...to help people become more familiar with it. There are other experienced members who would be able to fill in the gap on legal support. :-) I try not to offer legal support also for fear of saying the wrong advise! But definitely can listen and hug people on here and send courage and strength vibes to anybody needing it.

Have a good sunday, Denise!

Dear Denise,

Don't worry about this, we all bring different things to the table.

Like most women, you offer brilliant emotional support to those who are having bad days (I really wanted to say you are motherly but worried you might not take this as a compliment)

Lol of course not, first and foremost I have always been my children's friend, then the 'muvver' kicks in to dictate to them then other times the 'mum' is there for them

Motherly is a compliment, I'm a young 45 who luckily have kids who ask me out for their nights out ! Xx

Hi Denise,

I with you on the pity party and not been on here recently, always feel the only time i come on here is for help and advise but i dont give anything back.. But i hope that even the odd post i do put on other people threads help a little and thats what you should be thinking, you say you dont no legal things but you know how it feels and that is what everyone on here needs, people that understand the total confusion that is now your brain!!!

Keep your chin up and keep smiling xxxx

[RFLH]

just post - it doesn't really matter what it is - its the fact that you've taken the time to help someone else when they desperately need a friendly word or two.

This is why this is a self-help forum - we help each other!

[Joan1978]

Hahaha So true, ive never even thought of it been a help forum and your right its nice to see a response on your thread and see someone is there for you when you may feel all alone at that time!!

Makes you smile knowing that all these people care about you even though they dont actually know you and take time to respond and check your ok xx

That's very true
I Keep having a feeling of guilt that ours is over and others are still waiting

But it's true , just knowing someone cares and this is such a sensitive subject that it's such a relief to speak to others going through the same thing xx

[Saffron]

Denise, you must NEVER ever feel guilty! You have been so helpful and supportive to many members here, and what's more you are still here! Some people come here for support and then melt away when theyt get their NFA. All power to you for taking up the mantle and continuing to assist others.

[Denise]

I couldn't walk away Saffron

You were all there for me

Good for you Denise.

There are many lesser people that come through support groups like this who only pop in when things are really bad and neglect to offer support to those who are in the same boat and helping you.

Full credit to you and it shows the nature of your personality that you will remain here when many others would just want to understandably forget the situation.

Yours is such a patient and caring nature that will encourage many lurking to post.
