Shame on you. This page was set up to support imperfect mums not judgemental mothers!! I really wish members would support each other and NOT leave negative comments but they do. Is this the world we live in now?
Maybe a bit of advice you may wish to absorb. Only comment where you have had first hand experience in the matter. Give advice on your experience and not judge the person who has reached out asked for your help/advice.
My personal opinion is those quick to judge and put down.. I believe you have your own issues to deal with. Being non helpful or unsupportive can make you feel better about your own life. If you want to lift yourself by putting others down is a band aid solution. You need help to sort out your own rubbish. The only way to lift yourself is discovering what is wrong with you and fixing it.
Last note: thank you to those who do be helpful and supportive. Please keep doing it. We need you to keep the sisterhood going from the others that don't xoxo

Couldn't agree more! A post earlier today on Facebook horrified me with the nastiness & judging. I have searched for it tonight as i felt compelled to post my support for the OP. Can only assume the post has been removed. I'm thinking of her & sending her huge love, sorry i didn't gather my thoughts fast enough earlier!
Yes to the first hand experience!!! The 'what I think id do' posts really get me.
My kid has anxiety, ' well I'd parent better and I'd be very surprised if it didn't change' yes you would, then you'd realize you're dealing with something more, then you'd write for help to be told by some douchecanoe they'd do it better in their imagination....
Of course anybody can offer an ear and kind words without having been there, but so often when they haven't been there they just can't seem to do that.
Oh and the women who have no idea about an abusive relationship and miss all the flags and tell everyone saying to leave theyre wrong and op should try harder and 'talk to him about it' makes me cringe every time
It is not just on this site - it is everywhere... So I hate to say it - but it seems it is the world we live in now.
We open ourselves up to the good and the bad when we post on forums and social media..
We have to be willing to take both sides
Thankyou. My thoughts exactly. The amount of abuse i see on here is shocking
I've said this before but what I still can't get my head around the fact that the majority of the nasty comments are on facebook for the world to see and everyone reading it can see who you are! I've never left comments on the facebook page and never would but if I ever felt the need to say something nasty there's no way I'd put it on a public forum, I would tell the person privately or just keep my mouth shut and move on!
I've written in here once before asking for advice because I was feeling down and all the comments I got were basically 'you need to do this, you need medication you have this wrong with you you need a doctor etc.' I'm sorry but do we all have medical degrees as well? I was having a bad week, needed to vent, was hoping for a bit of friendly advice or just 'I've been there, I can relate, it gets better etc.' Not to be told I have a mental illness!
I don't go on the facebook page very often but when you see a post that's blown up I have noticed that alot of the time it's the same few people starting it, perhaps admin need to block these people.
