Divorce is painful enough. 

We are all very aware of how difficult, painful and life-altering divorce can be on our lives, our children, our friends and family.

 

Many times the type of pain and confusion that divorce brings to our lives, can lead to very passionate, yet misguided, disagreements or even personal attacks.  Pain is a tricky emotion and many, when hurt, will seek to avoid that turmoil, by hurting others. 

 

Sadly, so often we are wounded so profoundly and our self-esteem so trampled, that we may lash out at anyone - innocent victims, someone who reminds us of our ex, family or friends who are trying to help, or members in an online community.

 

We may even lash out at those who remind us of ourselves, or who have dared to confess something we deem unacceptable.

 

When we found this site, we hoped we had discovered a caring, open and honest environment, where we could find support, guidance and understanding.

 

For many of us, divorce is very isolating and frightening.  Many of our closest friends and relatives disengage from us during this time, and we are often left alone to navigate the most difficult times of our lives.

 

Thankfully, there is divorce360.com.  While it is only a website.  It is a place where information is offered and a community is available to listen, ask and answer questions and give some relief.  It is indeed, for many, the only place of solace available.  We should all treat it as the very valuable resource it is and respect its role in so many peoples lives.

 

Divorce360 and its members strives to offer a safe community, where everyone can express fears and doubts, successes and failures.

 

Sometimes one member or another will spark a controversial conversation, or tempers may flare up and before you know it, words that are meant to comfort here, become advesarial and cruel.

 

That can not be tolerated.

 

If you find yourself engaged in such a conversation here, please stop immediately.  As we all know with little children, attention is really what they want, and many will do any number of negative activities to get our attention.  Sometimes all that is needed to do in those cases is....nothing.

 

Please inform the divorce360 staff if you notice any negative postings of any sort.  And as stated in the terms of use, membership can be revoked if abuse of any sort occurs on this site.

 

Let's keep divorce360 the safe and helpful community that it has always been.

 

And as always, thank you all for your membership and support.

as this little corner of world grows, there are bound to be the vile types.  Let's just hope that we as a group can help them get beyond the anger stage.  We all will go through it, but the the bigger persons will get beyond it.  It still hurts, but why lash out at the ones trying to lift up.  Good post.

Delia posted exactly what I was thinking.  Sorry D360 but in a lot of ways you are "all talk".  Have you actually removed offending members?  Otherwise this little post of yours is all bull ca ca.

impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, any employee, officer or director of Smallponds, Inc., forum leader, guide or host, or falsely state or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;

Information that is trade libelous, unlawfully threatening, unlawfully harassing, defamatory, obscene, explicit or vulgar,

Information that is false, inaccurate or misleading;

Right - so let's start seeing some of those bogus accounts actually removed and the persons responsible have their accounts removed as well, instead of just a verbal warning on a thread such as this. 'Warning' without decisive consequences to back them up become ineffectual after so long. And the perpetrator of the bogus accounts is well aware of this.

The ip's have been matched up already from what I understand.

Sometimes the security and safety of the majority of members should outweigh the smug expression of one member who knows how to circumvent your policy. As I said previously, don't the majority of D360 who abide by the rules, deserve better?

Start actually removing the accounts of members who violate your TOS and perhaps people will feel safer coming back.

I truely don't know what the heck you are referring to at all.  What and how has someone abused this site?  Who would do something like this?  As for myself, this place is like home and is a highlight of my day. Whoever has created this place should be awarded the Nobel Prize for the ressurection of injured victims of divorce.  I have read stories of success here and if warms my heart to see the progress of individuals regaining control over their lives again.  Kev

Of course, there are always going to be a few rotten apples (or trolls!) that try to spoil things....but for the most part, this forum attracts mostly those who are sincere about why they are here....

So, thank you to the folks at D360 for the support and guidance and blogging you make available...it's a godsend!

Thank you D360!  I know that you are not writing this blog seeking praise but as a reminder to us all.  
I have found this site and members to be very helpful.  I have read many blogs, posts, personal stories and take comfort that I am not alone.  My feelings & my situation have similar characteristics to many and I learn from you all.

I need D360 and many of you for emotional support, to be challenged, & questioned so that I may gain as much knowledge and support possible.   
I thank you D360 for this opportunity and thanks to the members who help share their personal stories and provide helpful guidance, feedback, and yes, even the venting is helpful.

And thank YOU D360 for this wonderful site.  I've never blogged or anything before and in my distraught state of mind came across this site and it has truly been a godsend to me. 

I have got legal advice, a ton of support, found a place that I can write my raw feelings of pain, hurt, sadness, anger.

Most of all I found a fantastic group of people that understand exactly what I'm going through, as most are doing the same.

Again, thank you, for this site has helped me tremendously through my on-going divorce.
