Lovely Gransnetters

I just wanted to say, having received a lovely private message from a Gransnetter, that people on here are pretty wonderful. How lovely of someone to pick up from a post that the poster would benefit from a few kind words. It worked. Sometimes a gesture from a stranger can work wonders (not that I think of you of strangers really, but you know what I mean). I will endeavour to do the same in the future. smile

flowers for you Galen, and hope that things will improve now that treatment has started.

BTW, there's always Grannynet if you want a bland non-confrontational grandparenting site.

I think Galen has posted about Lucy mainly on the Soop's Kindly Kitcheners thread. I too hope that she'll get the help she needs to get her spark back.

As for unpleasant PMs, I've only ever had two and they've been from - how shall I put it - temporary and obvious troublemakers.

I give my opinion on here and of course there are always some who disagree with me - why not? I have never, however, sent or received a 'nasty' PM and agree that it's not on to resort to such underhand measures.

Galen-I too seemed to have missed the thread concerning Lucy. I do hope that she will feel better very soon.

Well said KatyK - I have had enormous support from Gransnetters.
Galen - I'm sorry I seem to have missed the thread about Lucy, but whatever the problem I do hope it's soon resolved. flowers

Well said Hespian! I wish more people would follow this maxim! How lovely of you KatyK to thank those who have been kind. When someone is hurting a few supportive words can do so much. This place is surely here for support not meanness!

KatyK thanks for your positive comments about the pm you received.
I was shocked to read that Gagagran and others have received nasty pm's, totally unnecessary and very unkind

Galen, I do hope Lucy is safe and getting the care she needs and that future care is helpful for her

galen Wishing Lucy well.

kittylester Tue 02-Jun-15 19:12:41

That must be a relief for you Galen, I hope something can be done to help her.

I've had loads of help on here too with both my issues with my mum and the f*****g Idiot!

janerowena Tue 02-Jun-15 19:05:20

Me too, I'm so glad she is getting some help - and it will give your head a bit of a break.

janeainsworth Tue 02-Jun-15 18:43:03

Galen I hope it all works out for Lucy x

Nelliemoser Tue 02-Jun-15 18:19:56

Galen I hope they can get her back onto an even keel soon .

I often wonder how well these pyschiatrists actually monitor the effects of the drugs they dispense.

numberplease Tue 02-Jun-15 17:54:30

Galen, I`m pleased that your dear Lucy is going to get the attention, guidance and treatment that she is in need of. I hope all goes well for her, and you, in the future.

Galen Tue 02-Jun-15 17:42:09

Thanks all. I think she's relieved something's happening

loopylou Tue 02-Jun-15 17:39:32

Not a bad idea sometimes pompa! Mine definitely sometimes has either a fit of the sulks or runs away with spellchecking itself (not helped by me rarely reading a post I've written before hitting send!)
hmm

pompa Tue 02-Jun-15 17:34:16

LL, I must read posts more thoroughly. I thought that " Can't they be reported to GN?" refereed to the previous post regarding iPads. hmm

Mishap Tue 02-Jun-15 17:28:34

Let us hope Galen that a way forward will be found for her.

I too have benefited from much support and kindness for gnetters at a very difficult time in my life - and I am very grateful.

Charleygirl Tue 02-Jun-15 17:23:33

Galen hopefully they will be able to help Lucy with the support and care that she needs. At least you know that she will safe there.

whenim64 Tue 02-Jun-15 16:59:06

Galen I hope Lucy is feeling supported and less distressed now she is in hospital flowers

MiniMouse Tue 02-Jun-15 16:57:17

flowers galen what a difficult time you are having sad

loopylou Tue 02-Jun-15 16:40:17

I do hope Lucy gets the support and therapy she needs Galen, poor girl, such a turmoil for you both.

Crow Tue 02-Jun-15 16:33:50

I too have had great support when needed. I don't post nearly so much nowadays. I just lurk!!

Galen Tue 02-Jun-15 16:31:16

Quite.
By the way, Lucy has now been admitted to a mental hospital. I'm quite relieved. Hope they can help her.

Ariadne Tue 02-Jun-15 16:13:18

The support I have had has been tremendous. There are, indeed, some lovely GNetters. Thank goodness!!
