Do You Chat On A Board?

Julie use to chat on this baby board. She was there for 2 years and then she left because of someone who had sent her a horrible email. Julie knew that there are a lot of moms on the board that don't like her and they have hinted and made it clear. They have even told her that she had spoken B***S*** and some other horrible names and have hinted that she only seeks attention, though she never use to bump her posts to the top or even complained about how many reply's she got to her posts. she let it be and if she felt like sharing something she shared it and was satisfied even if only one person had replied. It was sad that she had to leave and she misses some of those people. A few keep in touch with her and she washappy with the few that do keep in touch. What was in the email was horrible and to the mom's that did no like her they sided with the person and said that they can see the concern, but honestly if the person did mean it out of concern why didn't the person use her real name or her name she used on the board, instead she sent Julie the email under a different name and even mentioned that some of the mom's were concerned. It hurt Julie so much then and it still hurts when she thinks about it. Sometimes she felt like going back just to say hi to some of her friends there, but then she'd close up and remember the hurt she went through and avoids going there. Julie though, 'People on the net think they know you, they think they have you figured out from the top to the bottom, they don't get to know you for who you are and when you are yourself they don't want to believe that you could/can be yourself and they find means and ways to hurt you. ' Now one could say, but yes sometimes Julie use to post her experience or what she went through and yes sometimes to Julie it sounded made up, but they were experiences she went through. Julie was made out to be a liar, made out to be someone who would harm her children. Wyatt suffered with his ears from the age of 3 months, he was consistantly on antibiotics and they kept on having second opinions and it would be the same thing, there is nothing wrong, but by the time they went for the 2nd opinion the antibiotics would clear it up for awhile. Eventually after his 2nd birthday he had a blockage of wax in his ear which he had to have toilet flushed out, it didn't help and 2 weeks later he was booked for grommits and his adenoids removed. Then poor Chris got sick for a month and Julie and Leo were going to doctors and emergency rooms where they were told it is just a cold or just a virus there is nothing they can do they must wait for it to ware off, then they took him back and eventually he was treated for whooping cough which only then did the meds help and after that Julie got the email. It hurt to think that anyone could think that of a mother. The board was or is suppose to be a support place for moms and even dads, but it wasn't like that for Julie, it became a place where she felt nothing she'd say was or is good. She was and she still is grateful for the support she got from some of the mom's on the site and she will never forget them. Julie has moved on, she is happy and her boys are happy and healthy although she is sad that she won't get to share them with the others and sad that she doesn't get to hear how everyone's little ones are doing. Julie thought, 'It breaks my heart not to be able to give advice to someone or get advice from someone, but my boys do come first and I sure ain't going to put their lives in danger.' What upset Julie was this person knows there are people who live close to her, they could have asked one of them to come and check up on her and the kids and find out what was going on, no instead they just decided a harsh email telling her who she was. 'Yes it is the internet and things like this are bound to happen, but when you get to know these people it breaks one's heart to know that they could do something like that.' Julie is not a victim anymore and hopes that no one else becomes a victim. This should never be wished upon anyone. Never judge a book by it's cover, unless you can handle the truth.
