Was this the post about your blog? I'm sorry if you felt you had to take it down. I think you are a great writer and am glad I bookmarked the site.
I hope your MRI went well!

I was not offended by the comments about blogs in UO. I removed the link because people insinuated I was a huge AW and merely came back to promote my blog, which was not the case at all.

I've made several attempts to be involved in this board, but I feel like I have a target on my back when it comes to certain people. I'm not a girl's girl, and I'm not a fan of drama. I think this kind of message board is just not for me.

I do however wish everyone the best. I really think you guys are a great group of women.

Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I am definitely a sensitive person, but I feel like a lot of people would rather call someone out and "flame" them rather than seek to understand or clear up a miscommunication.

For instance, the issue with my mom. My initial hesitations about her boyfriend were right, and she has now alienated herself from her family over a guy who is a possessive, immature asshole. But I didn't express myself clearly when I was upset and had my ass handed to me over it.

I had no idea you would be offended by my use of the term "stalked." I meant no disrespect over it.

I also had no idea people thought I was a giant AW because I posted my blog or gave my blog link to other users. I'm used to handing it out to friends and family members so they can keep up with HC's progress/our EA process/etc.

I never gave a GBCB speech. I backed off the board for a while after the giant mom thread, but I came back to offer support to another mom whose child was having some visual issues and was told to stick around. I had my account deleted when some users found me on fb and instagram after everything that happend with you, @spankingshank. I wanted any personal info, pictures of my son, etc. that I might have put out there to be removed permanently. I also made my blog private for that reason. I intended on creating a new account, but just now got around to it. I thought it would be a good time to join back in since we are embarking on this new EA journey and so many other moms on the board are going through TTC. That's why I posted my blog. I didn't have any ulterior motives. I don't make money off the blog or anything. I'm not trying to use this board as a platform. I sincerely thought someone might be interested in reading it. I guess I should have just stuck in the link in my siggy and left it at that.

Then tell people to F off and stick around.

As for the issue about your mom, I think people were so put off because we really listened and took a lot of time to respond to you with our hearts. And everything was "yea, but..." And didn't listen to how we tried to help. That rubbed people the wrong way.

As for the blog, I'm sorry if pointing out that you came back at the same time you launched a new blog was rude or upsetting to you. That's just what I saw. And I don't remember anyone calling you an AW. But I might have missed that. And for the record, I read your old blog, on numerous occasions and checked out the new one.

I agree with @linegirl313‌ that you should don the "big girl pants" and stick around. Or if you're too sensitive, go. But like @SpankingShank‌ said, this is a great group, that from what I saw welcomed you back with open arms.
