Troll is used web wide... not just here. As you say, is a big web so you can find this is true quite easily.
. A cult? OMG are you one of religious fanatics? Nothing against religion at all... by fanatic I mean one who thinks theirs is the ONLY true religion? Nope, no cult, just people trying to help others, but also people who don't put up with BS.
I consider a lot of people here friends, many have been here a long time. Personally I think it was good advice.. that you stop having children. IF what you say is so,.. and I am not saying anything about the ones already here, God Bless and I am sure you love them.
You have 3 or 4 under 18 and it is not easy being a single parent. Thus, stop having children is good advice in that respect. I see that as advice, not being judgemental. But it was from there on that you got defensive.
Can't waste any more of my time with this...I have to go try and convince Char to do my bath room redo.

For the newbies, is not a name that anyone is giving anyone here. Troll is an accepted internet term for a poster who enters a community with the specific INTENT of disruption. Trolls, by definition, often post as multiple handles in an effort at making themselves appear to have a "following". They suddenly appear with an influx of "new" poster handles all registering on or about the same day, all claiming to have been "lurking" and suddenly feeling a need to speak out just to jump on the bandwagon of a poster who has been disagreed with and apparently doesn't LIKE the disagreements. The term has been around likely longer than anyone here has even been online, much less been on THIS site.

I see why you're on here now Char...you're a good Bs'er. You really are and you almost sound convincing with your talk except you leave a lot out and seem to ignore the immature things that have been said on your part.. and oh by the way, there's all different ways to defend yourself. Your way just happens to be through trying to be humorous. Just to comment to me alone states that you're bugged by what's said, just as I have been. No, I'm not really immature Char. Everyone has their pushing point and what's tolerable to them. I think I have a better clue to things then you really want to know. You're not a bigger person Char and your little snide comments to make me look small are just as immature as anything I've said or done. As far as the adding things to my comments..yeah..I read them over before sending them and added if I left something out. You see I type really fast..and my fingers get ahead of what I'm thinking so I go back and add the stuff I forgot. There's no underlying crap there char. You obviously have an imagination. oh and also there are times when I"ve almost sent it to the last person who's commented or to the wrong person. I haven't been on this site for years as you have. I'm a troll remember? Come on..who is immature?

You have been busy!! Now I know you want to get back to the park... but I really need a bath redo... just the vanity, medicine cab and light fixture.. I can take care of the paint and floor.
SO when the weather breaks... and since I live very near to some nice parks...and our zoo is fantastic, and I live just a hop skip and jump from 77... do you do remodeling for a fee?
Just kidding... although I do want to get that stuff done. The electrical part scares me as I am not knowledgeable on electric and I know I can't do the vanity... but I think I can do the med cabinet. Looking forward to the photos! Congrats on being almost finished. You sure did not waste any time.!
Would love to stay in the fray, but will have to rejoin tomorrow. However I know full well you can hold your own!

So I'm considered a troll? I came on here for a specific purpose..to talk to someone who had been through the same type of situation as me and to feel a little bit of support. I by no means have ever been told I was a trouble maker. And I am definently not vindictive or malicious enough to make up handles and cause trouble on purpose. What a bad experience this has been. First time for something like this and the last..that's for sure. I was really hurt because I know my life is hard and I know that it's going to be harder to go through everything with another mouth to feed but i was a married woman with all of my chidren and I do not think that it is considered advice to tell a grown woman not to have any more children. Especially being the first thing said to me... Period. I'm sorry that you both don't agree with that and you believe otherwise. Don't shoot down a person who's already as low as they can get. What's so hard to understand about that?

I'm done with this...I'm done. I give up. I'm taking this stupid site out of my favorites and going to hopefully forget I ever came here. I was grouchy all day..my kids could sense it, and it brings me down. I put them to bed irritated and that is not good. You won. Be proud.

Kew: Yes, you DID speak to women who had been in your shoes, you just CHOSE not to listen to what they had to say.
YES, the first suggestion, if you're trying to figure out how to get OUT of a troubled marriage, is to not bring any more children INTO that marriage. That's basic common sense, which can admittedly, be clouded by the blinding illusion that love can be.
However, you had two women, of similar ages, and who could at least somewhat relate to your background give you advice, and real world experience, and YOU chose to be nasty to them.. myself included.
I myself have been in your position on this board.. new to a personal situation.. not really ready to handle advice given.. and YES, there are MANY on this board who are caustic and rude, simply for the purpose, in my opinion, that they get their jollies out of it.
Char is NOT one of those people, and neither am I. In case you didn't notice.. I am a NEW member. I'm newly separated from my husband, my daughter's father.
Anyway, you only got negativity BACK because any advice or suggestions you were given was met with pure ostrich, head stuck in the sand, obstinence in refusing to see your own situation and where your own decisions have led you and where your continued poor decision-making and life management will lead you to.
Instead of spending your time criticizing those who HAVE tried to share with you.. why not take some time to absorb the information provided to you.. take a good look at where you're at.. where you want to be.. and what type of life you want your CHILDREN, most importantly, to have...
I'm sure you will read this and I hope you will read this with the intent it is written in.
