Re: In need of moral support...

When someone is feeling down about a situation, the "tough love" approach doesn't always work. It can for a minority of people. But tough love from someone you don't even know and have never met? Not usually. It simply makes them feel worse. The paragraphs above are the ones I edited, not the originals. The beating down was in the original reply with statements like:

you picked him
Stop whining
You made the poor decsions
no shacking up with someone just because it's easier or financially better

You don't know first off if she's been shacking up because it's easier or financially better or if she's ever brought boyfriends/husbands in and out of their lives. She's talking about one failed marriage. She tried to make a relationship work and made it worse by marrying him and having kids. But that's ONE mistake. From the way you tackled it, it sounds like she makes such mistakes on a regular basis. I just find it was very poorly worded to get someone to take notice. The wording is more likely to get someone to run away and not come back here, or to come back and tell you off. And THAT isn't going to help anyone.
