Some of you have been with me in my some of my darkest moments, I have been with some of you in your darkest momemts. I really love a lot of you who I consider some of my friends. Babble felt like home for a long time. We had a lot of fun too. I feel like I really know a lot of you too.
But I don't feel safe anymore and I feel it is best to walk away. I will be okay, I always am, I am a survior. Therapy has helped me so much and enough to know that this place sometimes isn't very healthy for me. The hurt is just too great right now that I feel. I will cry and I will be okay, I guess leaving Babble will be like a practice for me when I have to leave my T.
I know you all will be okay, and I wish you all the best of luck in life and I hope therapy does for you what it has done for me. I really am for the most part happy with most of my life, and I owe it to lot of babblers that helped me get there. I love you and I will never forget your kindness and support. I hope you can understand why I need to leave. Thank you.Happyflower

Happyflower,
I'm so emotional today and your post made me cry. Where are you going? I don't understand I guess, but I trust that you know what is best for you. I will miss your witty personality and the fun you have been. I wish I could disappear from the face of the earth right now. I haven't felt this down for years. I guess the closer I get to a divorce the more depression/anxiety kicks in. I want to give up, but I can't really. I have an eye on a condo, but I don't know if the time is right for me to move out this quickly. I know I can't get divorced just yet. To many things need to be untangled first.
You have meant a lot to me Happyflower. I will wish you the best in all that you do and all that comes your way. Good luck in therapy and good luck with your marriage as well. I don't understand why you don't feel safe, but I'm sure you have your reasons and know what you're doing.
Know you will be missed like crazy by me. We have some serious stuff in common. Like married to older men and have a troubled relationship with them. I hope we both find ourselves happy someday. You say you are happy for the most part. I know I have been there too inspite of the facts of the marriage. But I'm beyond that now. I need to move out.
Hugs to you (((HF))) Take care....

I completely understand why you want to leave babble, just know that you will be greatly missed.
I wish you all the best and hope that we can still communicate in some way.
I want you to take good good care of yourself and keep moving yourself toward love and happiness.
I'm sad, but understand your decision.

Hi Happyflower,
I don't want you to leave, but I know the reasons why you need to. I'm sorry that Babble stopped being helpful and became hurtful.

Happyflower, I know you and I didnt ever really get to know each other, but I have read your posts over the last several months. It really makes me sad to hear that you are leaving. I really enjoy hearing about your adorable T and the stories you've shared. I'm glad to hear things are looking up for you. I do understand your frustrations and I think it's good that you're able to distance yourself from things that are unhealthy, even if it's hard. You will definitely be missed here. Take care of yourself.

Happyflower,
You're making me a sadkat. :( I just found my twin and now you're leaving. I read the boards and think I figured out why. It saddens me that things run the way they do around here sometimes.
I want you to know that I had the weirdest dream the other night. Your t showed up in my dream running down the road holding one of those cloth flowers with faces on them. It was a big purple flower with a smiling face. I know he showed up because I'm obsessed with figuring out the name of the actor he looks like. But I think its really neat that he was holding a 'Happyflower.' Just thought I'd share that with you.
Can you not occasionally visit? I am saddened to see you go :( Be well and stay safe.
Regards,
sadkat :(

I haven't been here for a while... so I only just saw your post, and I went and read the other posts elsewhere that you seem to be referring to.
I'm really sorry you're not feeling safe here. I don't know the whole story, but from reading between the lines I can totally understand where you're coming from.
If you leave, I will miss you enormously. I know I haven't been around much recently, but whenever I do manage to come here I always hope I'm going to see you on the boards.
I'll be thinking of you.
Love,
Tamar

Happyflower,
I feel sad that we won't encounter eachother in some silly late-night babble chat. I feel sad that you and I cannot share how we used to hide in the drainage culverts to keep ourselves occupied when it wasn't a good idea to be at home.I will miss your stories about your life as a musician, and your inpsiringly consistent gym sessions (even if it IS just to see a certain familiar face *wink*).
Please don't forget how to get in touch with me. There will always be a place for you here (until I move to the E. Coast, that is!). Almond Croissants anyone?
I really respect how HARD you've tried to work things out here. I know that you feel like you've reached the end of the line, and the stress has just been too much. Well, if/when you reconsider, please drop a line and let me know what your new posting name is. You will always be welcome to post on my threads, even if it is just giggles and silliness (or a string of curses- that's cool too. The more assterisks, the better, IMHO).
I think you are a very lively person with a sharp wit, a big heart, and a quick laugh. We need more like you.
Auf Wiedersehen,
your friend,
Ll
