    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    The thesis, well its a bit contraversial in someways...the research is about men's experience of abortion, and I am at the moment, writing a literature review on men's experince of miscarriage. Normally seen as women's issues, but it does effect the guys too.

    sorry just finished my meeting and am trying to catch up a little bit so i know this is a old post, however dot if i can be of help drop me a PM, my wife had a (very bad and long lasting) miscarriage a couple of years ago which was shortly followed by another pregnancy so if you want to ask any questions please feel free to do so

    Luc it sounds to me that those women are jealous of you for their own petty reasons and the biatchy cows were just looking for an excuse to be nasty. You are so much nicer than them and deserve better treatment. XX

  • Luc- Wasn't her buisnsess! Your reply, I think was good, but personally I wouldn't tell her you are this upset anymore because, 1) at the moment she doesn't have the right to know how you feel, you can't trust her with your emotions, and 2) she will really think she has got to you, and I guess that is what she wants...she has already 'punished' you by excluding you, don't give her an inch more to work with!

    You know what it's all about now, don't rise to bait, and keep the moral high ground (but quietly, in your own head and heart, just know you have it). You don't have to explain your behaviour to her, esp, when it doesn't seem to involve her directly. I don't see that you need to make anything up with her, quite the reverse.

    Honestly Luc...I know they have been a life saver but sometimes it pays to know when to let go. Stay in touch with the ones you want to and wave goodbye to people like this.

    This woman is not even fighting her own battles, she is fighting someone else's battle (which may or may not even be an issue for M) but she may feel that she is protecting M from you. I would be tempted to say to her thanks for your concern about M, I shall have a word with her and sort this little issue out with her personally as I had no wish to offend and would like to set the record straight. Thinks get lost in chinese whispers sometimes.

    Even if G and M had an issue it is pretty cruel to not invite you to someones leaving do and smacks of immaturity.
