Title: scared
Post by: goodness on May 11, 2014, 12:57:44 PM
Scared is probably the best way to describe my current state of mind. I am somewhat overwhelmed with what lies ahead, as I have been for years. But I can no longer live the lie. When choosing a tag name, I reflected on that other little girl, Shirley Temple. One of her favorite expressions was "Oh my goodness." And that's what I really seek here -- the goodness and kindness of sisters.

Welcome, sis... You're safe here, you've found friends that are on, or have already gone down the path you find yourself on..  Admitting the problem is the first step, doesn't work here... Admitting to yourself you are different than what people see IS the first step to fixing that.  And we're here to help.

Hugs, Paula

A big warm welcome to the family sweetie! As Paula said you are safe here. This is a very tight knit family and we are here for each other. Yes there is drama once in a while, but what family is safe from that. The thing is we all pull together when the chips are down and someone is hurting, scared or confused. Just know you are by no means alone and now are part of an awesome support system. Feel free to rant, vent, share good news (we like that a LOT), learn or just have some fun and meet the rest of the family. Here is a BIG HUG  :icon_hug: to welcome you and make you feel right at home, because you are now! :)

Welcome to Susan's.

The name goodness reminds me of a childhood story. Only her name was more like Lady Goody. Anyways, I'm glad you found us. Jump on in, the water really is fine.
