When we feel that someone has wronged us... especially when they have pulled our heart strings to deceive us, we want to lash out and retract deep into our shells. While this is normal, it is not an attitude that we need to foster. No, it is times like this that we need to remain just a little vulnerable, because of the reality of what others actually go through. Brad, I am so sorry for your loss. I know that I could never hope to assuage the feelings you are experiencing through a post. But please, know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all of us can see your sincerity as if you were right in front of us. Dont ever let someone elses idiocy stop you from sharing what is on your heart. Venting is a good thing, and that is one reason why we are here.
We are a family, albeit an eclectic mildly dysfunctional one. We have our share of weirdoes and eccentrics. We even have our geniuses and unfortunately, those who are less than truthful. As Natasha stated, the modsters do talk about these and other issues as they arise. I dont believe that any of us were chosen for our naivety. Please rest assured that even when we are silent, we are taking care of things in the background. Its why we earn the big bucks, you know! Please feel free to PM me or any of the modsters if there is ever anything that you dont think is right.
