She'll likely be back again at some point, hoping that a new group of posters not familiar with her story will have something different to say other than what she's heard for years from those of us who are familiar with her story.
Cultural considerations will keep her where she is and her son will continue to be in the middle of the turmoil.
I don't have a son, no children at all, but hello. I wasn't gone because of anyone else's comments, not at all. I've been having medical issues. And emotional ones. My therapist found out I'd lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks and has put me in eating disorder treatment. My husband and my parents have been a godsend for me since then. But when I am here, I'm more than happy to help and offer comfort to anyone who needs me to. I'm not the sort to up-and-leave out of sheer defensiveness. The idea in itself is rather presumptuous, I think. I may not like everyone's opinions, but there's bound to be a suffering person out there who has need of them, and that's more important than being liked.
There is another Ella! Ella with some numbers after her name. She had deleted all of her own threads going back a few years,
Ella, may you continue to thrive with good support from your therapist (and medical team) and your loving husband and family! And certainly your own determination!
Oh, I see. I was a little confused. SuperConfusedHusband PMed me asking me where I went and that people were saying I'd gone off the grid or something.
@Hope1964 , someone else sent her a pm, thinking this was about her.
