Today I met up with a more or less recent but real friend. I know he has bad migraines and that he likes to roam the Internet. So I asked him, had he found a migraine site, like this Ch.site. He asked me what this site was all about so I said: `basically, if you feel very bad, you can scream and rant and whine at the board. And there'll always be someone who will respond: "Hey, hang in there. We know exactly what you feel and we care what happens to you."'
My friend looked at me and said, `Yea, well, when I used to be married this never happend to me. I had to lie in my room and suffer, and I was all alone, because my partner didn't understand my pain and, basically, didn't care.'
And then I nearly had to cry, which I didn't do because I am a pretty wel-adjusted grown-up person, but I thought, THANKS TO DJ FOR THIS BOARD (and sorry about the shouting). However alone we may be in so called real life, (and I personally am not), we are never really alone, really misunderstood or really uncared for.
Am I getting sentimental or what?
Love y'all, Annemarie
