Comments on: A brief blurb about link maintenance http://empossibility.com/2006/04/a-brief-blurb-about-link-maintenance/ There are no guarantees in life...only the possibilities Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:37:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Emily http://empossibility.com/2006/04/a-brief-blurb-about-link-maintenance/comment-page-1/#comment-279 Emily Tue, 02 May 2006 13:20:17 +0000 http://mamasbloggin.com/?p=645#comment-279 patty, it's not about hate, love or any other emotion. It's about me very carefully choosing where to spend my rapidly-shrinking online time. It's proving to be surprisingly difficult to provide daily updates that say anything other than "uh, hi? I'm studying/playing with my kids, thanks for stopping by!" Entire weeks go by before I get to read the rapidly-shrinking list of blogs that I've linked to (unfortunately). I'm glad you're getting help, and I hope you follow through with it. I have to admit, though, that I find it surprising that you're online at all. Usually when a person "comes out" with their online addiction problem, it's been my experience that they take a break to concentrate on the life that got left behind due to every waking moment spent buried in their online persona. I do hope that you're able to pull through this. If nothing else, you're a damn good writer and artist. patty, it’s not about hate, love or any other emotion.

I've not changed my name, I've not rejoined any communities, I've stayed where I need to stay to face the music. I've visited you every week, often more than that. Once upon a time I came here daily, but you've gotten sparse in your updates. I couldn't say anything last week, or the week before, I wasn't in the frame of mind where I could. I'm probably still not. I love you and your kids. I feel for your struggles with parents. You'll make it, and you'll be stronger for the doing. Hate me because you need to. I understand. love patty not only have I gotten help and not moved on. I’ve not changed my name, I’ve not rejoined any communities, I’ve stayed where I need to stay to face the music.

Hate me because you need to. I understand.
