I've Had Enough.

[moosmom]

I agree with what Johanna has said. Karen and Paul are a very respected part of this community. They would never EVER do what you are accusing them of. I also believe that it's not PT or the members that are the issue. Your life reads like a great American novel. Like I've said before, it's always something with you. You got thrown out of your apartment, you had to rehome your cats, you got assaulted, you adopted a chinchilla, you got your cats back, yada, yada, yada. What's next??? I would strongly recommend a good therapist. Heck, I've gone that route and believe me, it's well worth it. For the first time in months, I've felt so much better and have been able to deal with my past as a whole.

If you still choose NOT to stay, like Kuhio98 said, Good luck, I respect your decision.

Please don't agree with me. It gets me all confused.

I don't know what happened, but I'm sorry that you're hurt and feel you have to leave!

Hey anyone got anymore yarn?? I think the blanket is just about done here..

[Anita Cholaine]

Oh Gina I don't want to see you leave, but if you think that this is the best for you, then I respect your decision. You've always been to me one of the nicest members of PT, I know I will miss you and your ark a lot.

(((((HUGS))))) I wish you the best in your life.

[Miss Z]

Gina, I'm so shocked and saddened that you wish to leave PT. I know that life doesn't seem to be easy for you right now, and it must be difficult for you coming into threads after a break of a week or so and be unsure what words to say.

I don't really know about any members or non-members that have been harrassing you lately, but please don't let them upset you. If you need to take a break from it all, we understand, just please don't let them make you associate PT with misery and hurt. That's not what we're here for, we are behind you every step of the way as your friends.

I dearly hope that at some point you do return, but for now, I hope everything goes well for you from here on.

Oh Jo, I too agree with you! Does that confuse you even more?

Gina, things have been stressful for you to say the least. If anyone understands hard times and bad luck, its me! But I also feel the best thing would be to walk away and to get your real life in order before you come here to a virtual one.

I'm not going to beg you to stay. I wish you health and hapiness, and bid you a fond farewell.

It was Karen who kept us all informed whenever an upheavel happened in your life and we were left worrying and wondering what had happened to your cats, Crayola and you. She went out of her way, in my estimation, to keep in touch with you personally and to let us know how we could help you. I haven't posted anything on your threads for many months, and I haven't sent you any pm's since we communicated about Miles' treatment nearly a year ago. I've been afraid to say anything because my deepest concern over time has been for the welfare of your animals. That you care deeply about them is very obvious, but every trauma you go through, they go through also.

[sandragonfly]

I've been wondering where you have gone, lizzie. I missed our conversations. and yours too, kuhio98, I never could thank you both enough.

yadayada?? I never felt I had to feel godsmacked by a post here I didn't needed to hear. I don't think I have to copy/paste off mayor's apologizes, and what's next??? a better place, I hope. if you please read my threads carefully, chinchilla was a gift and getting cats back wasn't what I expected at first and I'm thankful to have them back because I wouldn't have had them back. I wish you'd PM me with what you're upset about but I can't take the blame from anyone when there's always something happens that were not IN my hands and I will always fight what lies untrue.

everyone, please understand, I truly don't want to leave either. I'm tired of hiding, carrying my pet talk burdens around where I always come here for public peace and then mayor can't do the justice here. I know it's just a forum, but remember, if it's just a forum, it must be more than just a forum (strangers) that hurt me the most. plus, with my ridiculous tumoril, I need to go and figure out what's more important for me, fair for you all and gather everything into one place. I just don't know what's right or too much I am asking for where my life stands now... but tonight, my friend's going to cook me a big belated italian birthday dinner and I'll start there.

as always, thank you everyone for posting in this, and PMs - there were a couple of good points here I needed to be reminded of - I will be the change I want to see. I promise I will think twice and keep in touch with you friends, just not for a while now.. I will miss you all.

Gina,
After that commotion that was started about people being concerned about me being in the gift swap, I sat down with my dogs, looked them in the eye, and realized that THEY are what is important. Not an online forum. They are my true friends for life, who will never judge me.

[caseysmom]

Gina, I have always enjoyed your posts, I hope you start feeling better about things.

[Karen]

I cannot "do justice" when you refuse to tell me who and what is bothering you.

[caseysmom]

Not to get in the middle but Karen you have been one of the kindest people I have ever "met".

Gina I also enjoy you, I hate it when there is friction between two people I like.

[shais_mom]

Ok seriously - I usually stay away from threads like this. But with the discord at PT all I can say to Gina - is
ENOUGH!
If what you have been thru in your life is truly - TRUE- you have my utmost sympathy and my apologies that Life has dealt you this hand but honestly Karen is one of the MANY people that stood beside you and STOOD UP FOR YOU (found you a place to live) when life had you hanging by the toenails.
Every time anyone doubted you Karen was quick to come to your defense. I am APPALLED regardless of what has happened b/n the 2 of you that you think it is OK to come her and try to humiliate Karen at HER OWN site! How can you honestly think that is ok?

[gini]

Karen, you have the patience of a saint!

It's a wonder that you don't dump the lot of us - and start another forum.

(don't you dare!)
