This place to me is no longer supportive and caring. In fact, sometimes I feel quite unwelcome. So I am not coming back.
Good luck to those who deserve it.

I haven't been here that much for the last three months, at least not mentally and emotionally, so I don't know what, exactly has gone on that has caused you to feel unsafe and unsupported. Despite those factors however, I hope to lend you support in your decision, and also offer you an open board if you ever find the need or desire to return. I know that many cyber-places can become hostile and unwelcoming, and I've felt these unpleasant receptions myself at times, even here at psycho-babble. Thank you for the time you have spent supporting others on the babble-land board, you will be missed!
Take care of yourself Rach!

Rach,
I'm sure you will be missed here.I am feeling similar to you, and trying to assess what the best way will be for me to continue on PB (if any). I don't want to lose the opportunity to learn, but it doesn't feel as safe to me here as it once did. So, I will probably stay for the learning only.
I figured out long ago that the world (including PB) is not always a nice place but at PB people can hurt you more because of what you've shared. I should have known better (as the Beatles would say).
Good luck to you,
Shar

Rach,
I'm so sorry you have to leave.
Dr. Bob tries to make this a safe place but I know sometimes it isn't enough.
I hope that in the future you may feel less vulnerable and be able to return to Psychobabble and benefit from the advice and support here.
I believe that the vast majority of posters are caring individuals. It is only a few that are hurtful. I visualize such people as 2 inch tall demons, unpleasent but quite harmless. More realistically, they are souls who are in pain and doubt like you and I, but, acting with childlike self-indulgence, they try to mitigate their sufferring at another's expense. With this in mind, it is easier to feel compassion rather than fear towards these people.
Best wishes,
AndrewB

Rach,
I know exactly what you're feeling and agree with you whole-heartedly. It's a shame that a few bad apples have chosen to ruin it for many of us.
I'll see you in a safer place.
Love ya,
