[Red Sox Mommy]

Here's a little background. I am on this other message board with some moms and have recently shared that I am TTC. My oldest son has some problems due to his biological father not being around and missing him etc- so I got him a counselor. He's 5.

She thinks I am wrong for TTC right now. This is what she posted on a thread where I was talking about my son's appointment- completely unsolicited:

Especially considering you have one child with anxiety issues, I hardly think that adding another child into the midst is going to be helpful for him. I really cannot understand this.

I told her that giving unsolicited comments about something I am already hurting from is cruel and hateful. I don't want to turn this into a theological debate, but she then said:

If I wanted to be mean and hateful, I would say that this is god's way of telling you he exists and that you are done.

I don't believe in God, and that's why she added the piece about him "existing". Why would someone say something so hurtful to me? I am just reeling from this. Am I overreacting?

I hate when people add in their 2 cents! No one will ever know your situation until they are in it, and they need to lay off! You know... there are always going to be people like that, you just have learn to tone it out :S Easier said than done though for sure.

Wow! This is bogus... completely. Try not to give it a second thought - if anything, she sounds like she's got a bee in her bonnet over something else that most likely has nothing to do with you. Crappy, but it ain't your baggage!!!

Um....WOW. I would not be involved in a message board like that, or with people like that period.

And you are not over-reacting. If anything makes my blood boil, it's personal attacks on forums that are supposed to be for support and help. I'm sorry some people are being so rude and hurtful to you.

Wow! Some people have problems! I don't think you over-reacted and I don't think it's right for someone to speak like that to you in a place where you go for support and friendship. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that!

all of the above posters. I would leave the forum if it was me.

i'm just going to tell you that our world's largest problem is when people become hateful because someone's opinions are different than theirs. that is why we have terrorism and hate crimes all over the place. People get so angry and mean when you share different beliefs than theirs. This woman was obviously angry in your beliefs. I wouldn't take anymore of your energy worrying about what she said. She is simply and idiot! You do what is right for you and your family. I think it would help your son to have a sibbling to focus on!!!!! HUGS to you! don't let people like that get you, then they win! IGNORE THEM AND YOU WIN!!!!
