I am so glad you feel so welcome here Tasha, it is a safe haven as has already been said. You can share how you feel on here with people you have never met, and know that you won't be judged, but will be supported, understood and loved.

I don't know of anywhere else you can get that on the net.

Lovely to have you here as part of our family Tasha. xxx

Thank you for all your comments, I am glad I joined and met some of the most amazing people. I agree it is like a family, except better and less arguments lol

Im glad you feel like you belong, that's what I love about this forum, everyone's so friendly, willing to help one another n have a laugh whilst doing it!

Like Mrs RW said it is like a family, we can't pick our real families but we can defiantly pic our own friends and turn them into family! Im glad you joined, warts n all :P xxxxx

hiya tash, its funny but i often say hello to the newbies by saying ' welcome to the family !! '...it really is an online family...which is good if your 'real' family does not provide the support you need ?? ( ykwimean tasha ??) so keep up the posting and blogging ....we are all in this together ..... ( isnt that a line off HSM ??) ..we love ya with your red hair and all !!!

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Lilyjayne, i know exactly how you feel as i'm in the same predicament! It's really daunting having to think about childcare,afterschool clubs, e.t.c ontop of everything else!
Mind u in the end i'm sure everything will be well worth all the stress. I remember being about 10 yrs old when my mom qualified as a nurse and i can remember feeling so proud of her and what she had achieved whilst bringing up a young family.I'm sure one day your children will be the same. They will look up to you in ore of what youv'e achieved for yourself and your family's future!!!

starting the access course will take your mind off everything... just completed first 6 mths it was hard three children, whilst working and partner working 24 hrs shifts...you will get through...everything goes right in the wash...before you know it you will be half way through ..house work bills ...they are things that will always be there..always..but you are changing your life day by day attending the access course and following your dream x do not worry x

every one is a geek ....you can reflect bk on school and who you are now and see how far you have come the school popular peeps really were not all that...believe in yourself..good person good morals interested in people, compassion....you are doing fine...x

Tash you are very loved here and are seen as a core member! Luv ya!

Oh I am still a red head with orange freckles. lol

Bless you Tasha, you are very much loved here!! I can identify with your post having had kind of red hair and freckle at school (freckles still here, wear make-up and dye my hair now tho). Glad you feel at home here, we all love you dearly. xxxxxxx

Yay Tasha, i am soo glad you joined, you are a lovely person, am so glad you feel settled here.

I glad you joined too Tasha.. Don't know where I'd be without you and some of my other .net friends after the past 2 weeks I've had You've been a fabulous support.. I will not forget that! Love you lots xxx

I can only echo what has already been said. It is amazing how wonderfully supportive the people on this forum are and I too feel like I truly belong here, it is a wonderful feeling isn't it??

Well, I think lilyjane and KB have said it all!

It is amazing how you can connect with people without even knowing them. You get a good idea of what people are like even just by a few posts or blogs on here.

I love this site too, and am pleased and honoured to have met everyone on here.

Tasha, I think this is the case for a lot of our members - it is for me definately. It's a safe haven where we can rant, cry, laugh, get advice and get help with midwifery. I blogged about the wonderful world of sm.NET a few months ago, saying basically the same. We all love you here Tasha and it's strange that you make connections with people you have never met and in some cases, will never meet! Glad you feel at home here lovely!!

Hi
I have had an awful 12 months - not in the way you have but i feel like i have lost a daughter too. But 300miles away to her dangerous dad and it has broken my heart so in a funny sort of way i feel like i am grieving - hope that makes sense - but of course in now way the pain and grief you are in. All i can say is - that I agree with you in terms of support on these forums - there are some family members who blame me and i know in my heart of hearts i am a good mum and love my children and i did my best and i have found some wonderful people on the forums that i have joined. Some have never met me some have and it warms my heart - a feeling that i can open up my deepest fears and worries and people tell me it will be ok. Words of comfort are important and mean alot. I hope your grief gets easier each day, and honey will be forever in your heart. We have unfortunately lost but in different ways and there will be a light at the end of the tunnel one day. But it is good to know we can come on here if we need to cry, laugh or shout. And we will not be judged.
God bless

Thank you for all your comments, I just read it back and it made me cry, silly cow lol

Hi I only joined yesterday but reading that moved me tremendously. I am taking that step into getting closer to angels and spirit guides and mediumship and truly believe your little angel is watching over you and smiling being so very proud of her mummy. If i can find some words of comfort for you further i will send them to you. Sending you warm ((((hugs))))

Oh sweetie, the time will come when your heart tells you enough is enough and i think deep down you know this! It's an awful situation to b in especially when you have so much going on right now and a child too but it will take time for you to see clearly and to lose the feelings you still have that keep dragging you back.

I wish you lots of luck and hope you feel more settled and content soon. Life throws these things at us to make us stronger and pass this knowledge on to others so be strong and keep your chin up!
