    In my very humble opinion:
    - Everyone is welcome here and that includes new posters - that's what's so great about this thread. If you look back on this thread, regardless of their mental health, posters here seem to manage to rub along together very nicely by and large, and are actually a very tolerant group.action-smiley-033.gif

    -
    - Public rows/character assassination, (especially mine!biggrin.gifwink.gif), and tit-for-tat posts, aren't helpful to anyone. It isn't fair to talk about others, especially when they're not here to defend themselves.
    - I could be wrong,eusa_think.gif, but the people who post here do generally have experience of a mental health issue, be it depression or something else. Others may be carers of someone with mental ill health and others may have recovered from it themselves. Yet anyone is always welcomed here.
    - The most basic of MSE forum rules:

    arrow.gif Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.

    - And I can't say it any better than this advice at the start of the thread from our glad...


    I'm probably speaking out of turn but oh well, I've started now so here goes... rolleyes.gif

    Whatever your thoughts on this matter are, there will always be someone you disagree with or someone who gets your back up. You can always hit the ignore button.
    If you have gone to the extent of trawling through someone's previous post history, please also take note of the kind of threads they usually post on - it may explain a lot. wink.gif

    I mean no harm in all of this. People who disagreed with cc came and had their say, as did cc herself. as did people who supported, and who perhaps are more familiar, with cc.
    As we all are, cc is subject to her own issues and also to human nature. As many people do, she can post in distress, or in anger, or in a very supportive way. Everyone's problems are relative to them and ccstar's problems are just as valid to her, as yours are to you.
    One thing I can say about our ccstar, is that she has the courage to post apologies when she feels she can, and after she's vented, as most of us do at times, she's not one to hold a grudge. Sometimes these forums may be the only place a person may feel they can vent. We're all only human, none of us perfect.
    I'm hoping that cc will feel comfortable enough just to pop in and say hi, without any worries over this other situation hanging around.sLo_hug2.gif

    I guess the best ''tiffing'' I can offer here guys, is this: You don't have to reply to a post.

    Wishing everyone a very good evening.sLo_hug2.gif

    Still, better me than someone else.wink.gif Umm, does anyone know when the good karma will kick in?!40.gif
    DS is up (well, at 2.15pm!) and he has just had a cooked breakfast which he did himself. Me? Not a sardine in sight.waiting.gif
    I did get to do all the washing up myself earlier though - and I cleaned the counters and swept the kitchen floor too. However, the sink has now got a greasy frying pan, plate and other implements floating in it. If he's not washed them by the time I get up from my catnap, he's gonna get tiffed!happy0062.gif

    I'm worried you might not be able to handle the excitement of my day all at once, so I shall retire to posting some daftness. I live in hope of doing some proper Tiffing before much longer.party0017.gif
    Be kind to yourself guys.sLo_hug2.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    evening all, had few days away at weekend, got back yesterday, the break was spoiled by joshua's temper tantrums, each and every day, have asked CAAMS for another assessment on him, as it s wearing us all down, lucky Ian has gone to the pub with his mates tonight, as he needs a break from it all. police have served me with a summons to appear as a witness against my son daniel in court tommorrrow.
    still no support from the kids social worker, another socail worker from intensive support team, has tried contacting her on my behalf with no success, so next tiem he visits he is going to help me fill in a complaints form.
    dreading court am scared cos i have trouble speaking up in front of groups of people.

    miro, sorry to hear things still arnt going too well for you at the moment.
    have you talked to your gp about the aggression?, it could be a sign of stress or depression.
    hugs

    enjoy life, we only get one chance at it:)
