I have made some lovely friends on this site. I have had many laughs and many tears and have taken a lot of comfort through some bad times, including very recently. |

I agree with every word Uzzi. Suicide and Autism affect many families. These people have every right to mention their sorrow or worries on this site. There are always caring people on here who will try to give some modicum of comfort or advice on coping to them. |

The closest other site that I have been on to this was Friends Reunited in the early days (before ITV bought FR and GR). Not surprising I suppose! |

AndysMum I was brought up ( now that is debatable) with the saying " If you can´t say something nice then keep it shut " Some people wonder why I am quiet around them, others know that´s just the way I am :-D |

When I first joined I don't say anything, and not because I'm shy (Which I am) but because I have never been 'around' so many caring people in my life :-0 It scared me and I didn't trust you. :-P |

Uzzi and others, I agree with every word. Two very interesting and important subjects which imo should be discussed openly not hidden under the carpet. |

Too right - even if we aren't regular posters, we'll know we can let off steam, look for support or share our excitement/happiness when the need arises. |

like any web site most people are actually unknown in real life, Unlike most web sites GR has a very caring community. I personally have got through some lows in my life with the help and care of the members on here. I have shaken my head at some posts and thought how petty, but I have remembered that what may be petty to me isn´t always petty to the poster. I have laughed aloud on threads, and groaned from my stomache on others. I have walked away from GR for the pettiness and crap, but I have always returned to the community that cares. How else would I have got through the moves I have done, the death of a mother that I thought until she died I hated, The very painful loss of my beautiful furbaby. Who else would I share the giggles that I have late at night when all are asleep. |
