I did think about sending you a private message with what i had to say Martin but i thought better of it.

I felt such loneliness from your post, a cry almost for someone to notice you, and yet, if you think about it, many people have noticed you, both in a positive way, and yes, in a negative way.

You are quite right about the reasons people use this place, my own reasons for starting to use chat rooms was purely out of loneliness, I make no secret of it and never had.

My reasons now although are still the same are that I have built up a group of internet freinds who i miss and look forward to chatting too, as and when i can.

thing is, i think there are a lot on here hoping for ‘something that is missiing’ in their real lives, and I also concur that there is misery to be had, the first couple of years on the way to making some very reall freinds most nights i logged off in tears because of the total minority who were prepared to make my life a misery .

However, I have now reached a stage where I log on , on my terms, I do check who iis in , and for the most part i love chatting to so many people on here and trusting them with whats going on in my life, lots know me and to be be hoonest i am never any different, they know this and I am now fortunate to hve a number of good relationships with chatters.

now, anxious not to make this thread all about me , I can give you one or two option. 1. carry on chatting in the hope you too , and its possible to do , make good stable freinds and actually get into the chatroom on those occasions it is pleasant and funny or 2. (and i hesitate to say this i really do ) dont go in!!

There comes a time in all our lives when we have to ditch the ‘toxic’ relationships , be they in the ‘real world’ or in cyber land. and think of our own self preservation. take a step back Martin is what i suggest……… and even if you just come in to chat and say ‘hi’ and just take a back seat and watch……. but, most of all Martin, be yourself, dont be someone you ‘think’ others want you to be which is the impression i get by your comments bout making jokes appropriately or innapropriately…… there is no balance in this life, that comes from us, we are the ones who have to listen, read, and deal with, whilst anyone appearing to taunt you or be a troll is saying whatever, try and think what their lives are like and what they are going through, ti could be that they are going through hell and this place is the only way they can vent their feelings……..or maybe they just plain keyboard ganstas and their aim to get a reaction from anyone they can

i think enough is enough from me, on a final note, you have enough to cope with without putting yourself through this, can u not find a forum which more relevant? arthritic support forums or something like that ? and……. before you go , that doesnt mean i dont think you should be here cos it doesnt, stay with it martin if u need this place but, remember whats the worse anyone can do? type in capitals to u? lol xx

I am sorry you have such sadness, as you say , especially in what supposed to be the season of ‘cheer’

even in your grief though , you still hold on to the precious memories and the time you had together, which is probably all we can do, strike a balance.

Losing someone so close is never easy, I wish you peace and leave you with the thought how lucky you were to have found such love and hope those special memories and warmth outweigh the tears xx
