Though still in limbo and wondering/waiting/worrying - just reading this board has made me feel like I have support, now and in the future. Most importantly, it has shown me that if this is what is happening now and/or should this happen in the future, I really am not the only one - and while on one hand that sucks for those of us who are here, it feels better to not feel so isolated and empty.

Re: Thank you for this board
I agree! This board has been such a support to me too.
Over Christmas DH and I were with his parents and MIL mentioned the family post-Christmas party again, the one I was secretly hoping to avoid as there is a cousin who has just had a baby (and another who had one in the year).
After all the words of encouragement on this board I felt strong enough to tell her that I wasn't keen on going to the party, that it would be upsetting to have babies around. I said that we would attend if we felt up to it on the day. (We're not going).
On the way home, DH said he was amazed at how assertive I had been.
Well, after everything I've read on this board, it makes sense to me to avoid situations we know are going to be difficult, if we can.
