It is good to know I am not alone.
Please forgive the over emotianal state I am, I am very sorry about that.
Thanks again to all of you.

Here is a good place to weep. So many friends are here who have all wept, some weep still, yet all who weep, they weep less.

Stay and gradually see what happens.

Self pity is allowed. You have no need to ask forgiveness,but there is not a soul here who does not offer it unasked.

I cry so very easily myself these days - my emotional state (as some in IOMFATS land know) is not good - therefore, it was with trepidation that I clicked the link to your story, dreading what i might find.

What I found was a powerful story, beautifully written and one that saw the tears flowing freely and I am not ashamed to admit it.

I cannot bear the fact that you are in pain and I feel so helpless. I want to reach out to you and let you know, that you are not alone - you have joined a very caring, loving place and you will receive much support (take it from one who knows).

Rejoice in what you had and remember those days with happiness. Rejoice in what you have and give praise for it - so many out there are not so lucky.

We all understand and there is nothing to forgive...

In fact there is something wonderful to rejoice about...

We all have found a new friend...

Please stick around and be a part of our little family...

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I too have moments of self-pity, and I unload as much as I can on these kind and caring persons, and sometimes that clears the air. I am not sorry for doing so, I thank them for being there for me.

You are welcome and encouraged to do the same.

Please take advantage of us, in any way you like! Smile


I am very glad and honored you let me read your life story. It feels as if I was given a great gift.

Ruggero, I cant begin to know of what you speak. I had two b/fs and both wanted just one thing and I just gave it. I dont think I know what love is really and maybe never will but, from what I read, I would say that you felt it and had it rejected.

All I can give you is a hug from an lil OZ guy. I hope it will make you smile mate and let you know that people DO care. I see that already the memebrs here have grouped together to enfold you in the group. You are in VERY good hands. Just a lil smile for you and a $100.00 bucket of happiness. Smile

Thanks, buddy, but I dare to disagree with you, I am sure, one of these days you will find love, or love will find you, be prepared, Big Hug.
