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.
