Well, I would hate, for lack of a better word, for you to leave and have no one but your husband and your son. You need a support system. You and I have shared email addresses and I want you to know you can always reach out to me. There are some others here with whom you have also traded email addresses and I hope you will stay in touch with them as well.

I know you feel you have to leave but I'm hoping you will give this community another chance. What happened recently is not how this group normally is. Not only that but Tammie's and Hurricane's posting had more to do with a clash between them...truly no one was doubting you and it's very unfortunate, and unintended, that you were made to feel that way. Plus you may have noticed that tensions were pretty high recently and it wasn't just because of Tammie's and Hurricane's postings. There was another completely separate situation involving a clash between users that was way worse. I hope you didn't see any of that and, if you didn't, be very happy that you didn't...I've never seen anything like it since I started using this Wiki and I hope never to again. Both these situations I would say are very rare, especially considering the size of the community but I can see how it would be very easy for you with your anxiety problems to really not be able to handle even some of the more mild postings here.

All that said, perhaps instead of leaving you can avoid the forums altogether and simply communicate with just the users here, whom you trust to be supportive, directly on their message walls. You could save links to their walls in your browser's favorites so you always have the direct links handy (save your own wall link too in case they leave you messages on your wall as well). It's a way you can stay connected to the Wiki in case eventually you're able to overcome some of your anxiety and want to come back on a more regular basis. Also, I'm hoping you will keep playing the game - it's a good outlet/distraction while you're trying to resolve your situation - and the Wiki can be a great source for game content and any questions you may have.

I hope you will also keep the GoFundMe page up and running as long as you still need funds. I saw a comment you made to someone about offering to refund them their donation and I'm quite certain no one would want you to do that. I also still want to share the link to your story there and I'm sorry I have gotten so sidetracked lately - I found everything pretty upsetting too (so you know it wasn't just you) and felt I had to help everyone get back to normal and reason so I could continue participating here. I would even like to make a donation but I'm unemployed currently and want to pay my own monthly bills and check my finances first so I can know how much I can donate now. So please do keep it running because I believe it will help you, even though it may not be going as quickly as you needed it to.

And lastly please do believe that with help and support this will all get better eventually as long as you keep pushing yourself to work through it. Someone here mentioned you will have bad days and good days and that is very true and only to be expected. And as I said above the whole idea of a support structure, besides your husband and son, is completely foreign to you...give yourself time for it to do more good...it will get easier for you to accept it and see more positive than negative in it. You do have more people you can lean on now and that is a really good thing...use your new found support structure, lean on your new friends, let us help buoy you and feel the love. I still believe in you and that you can get through this, especially if you let us help you.

Now smile and have some pleasant dreams please. Every tomorrow is a new day and another chance for a fresh start. 😍💝❤💗💕💖
