Be Kind

[SuperMom1921s]

Years of untouched rage may be meant for specific people and not random passerby’s on the internet. So be kind. Not as a pleasant “be kind and I’ll fart rainbows and sunshine” but as a be kind or it just may be you who gets all this stored up rage.

That being said, I use this page to rant to like minded people. If you can’t tell the difference between a rant and needing to get something off my chest as opposed to factual information…(??) perhaps the internet isn’t where you should be but in a classroom somewhere relearning how to read context clues.

I sincerely believe that members in this forum want to assist anyone who requests help by posting,  SuperMom1921s . They want nothing but the best for everyone. 🤗

Perhaps your post is intended for another site or blog. I just read the replies to what appears to be your first post here and what I see are eight messages filled with caring and compassion. The individuals in this group are kind people. It is extremely rare for someone to be rude and I know of only one instance which happened a few months ago where a woman took offense at most everything anyone said.

I’ve since deleted the original post. I was ranting about being recently diagnosed and someone took it upon themselves to take my rant apart piece by piece and then tell me that it was just “hard truths”. I know people here are genuinely compassionate for the most part and are dealing with their own issues in life. I just really didn’t care for her reply to my post.

We can listen to anything you want/need to vent.

Hi SuperMom1921s. I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience on an online forum. I do agree with BettysMom's post. I re-read the responses from your first post on this forum, and none seemed at all offensive. We are a caring and compassionate group on this site. Is it possible that you got a negative response on another forum? I heartily agree with you, that kindness goes a long way and should be practiced more often. 🤗

I posted here ranting about MS and coming to terms with being recently diagnosed and how hard it is to accept. The response I got was to take that apart piece by piece rather rudely. Especially for a rant. But thank you, I appreciate comments like this more than you know.🙏🏾

I'm really sorry that happened to you, SuperMom1921s. I didn't see when that happened with your post. It's particularly infuriating because the whole point of this site is to be able to vent if you need to, among other things. I hope that you will give us another chance, as most people here are very kind and caring. I think that ignoring the guilty party or reporting them might be options, but I understand why that might not feel right. It sounded like your relapse was really scary from what I remember and you deserve to be able to share your feelings safely.

I totally get what you are saying. I have worked at a company now for 24 years. Someone that has always been a manager over me in some capacity is my go to for a good rant. He just knows me well enough to know when I just need to rant and when I want him to take action. It's always a good feeling for me when I go to him because I know whatever I say or do he has my back. Hopefully this was a one off and this group will be a place to support you whether it's a rant or a rainbows and unicorns post. 🙂
