I was just wondering over this past weekend if being on VN has promoted actual change in your life…I have found some of my attitudes (formerly kind of negative) are changing in a couple of areas in my life and I would have to credit some of that change to the give and take and good (and sometimes comforting) advice on this board….

I find the wisdom and 24/7 availability of VN comforting and supportive. I wonder if that changes my perspective on the world?
Being supported and understood will always change an attitude. That’s why as mothers we create a supportive, loving and encouraging environment for our children. They leave in the morning feeling good about themselves and during the day as they confront whatever adversity comes along, they can think “ah I can get through this because when I get home I’ll feel good about me again.”
Yes. It has made me confident of having made some of the right decisions in my life as well as guided me to make choices I would not have otherwise made.
My first post on this site was how to find my eldest daughter who has cut off contact with our family for more than 5 years now. It was suggested that I talk to my other four children about her, which I did. I had intended to go to Montreal, where I know she lived up until 2008 when I found her on Facebook. I told my children my plan as they were leaving after having had a Christmas meal with me. I had rarely brought her name up during discussions just to ask if anyone had any news of her. I know that she had been having contact with my third daughter.
I got an earfull! They each told me how mean she had been to all of them at one time or another. They were crying as much as I was. She had completly cut off contact with my third daughter for over a year. She had done so when my daughter was defending me. My eldest was going on and on about what a bad mother I had been. My other daughter could not stand hearing this and told her so. She cut her off and no one has heard from her since. They did not want to see me hurt anymore by her. They told me that they understood my wanting to find her and would support me but that they wanted nothing to do with her. I decided to let it go.
I feel right about my decision.
