Facebook

Facebook is a weird place to be, I'm sure I'm not the only one to have noticed this. In the last couple of days I've been deleted by a couple of people and it upset me, it is possibly because of some comments relating to the recent rioting in England or it could be something else. But it made me think that I have shared a great deal with people on parenting forums thinking that we were like minded but in the end we do not really know each other, some I have never met and some only once or twice. I feel that I have been judged and found lacking, not hippie enough, not unconditional enough, so why did I bother with these forums in the first place? I needed support, a tribe, to feel part of something. But it's not real. So I am now only in touch with people I know personally and the wonderful Leicester sling meet group, so I do have to thank facebook for one thing!
