This is meant to be place for support and encouragement. Everybody here has challenges in their lives, and each individual is seeking positive resolution of these challenges.

PLEASE ASK FOR WHAT YOU NEED
This forum should be an amorphous community that evolves with the needs of its members. If there is a feature you would like, or something that you feel would improve it, please let the moderators know. We want this community to thrive, and the only way that can happen is if everybody joins in its creation.

PLEASE WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE
While we know at times life can be frustrating, the members of this forum would appreciate refrain from the use of foul language. Please use words that you would only feel comfortable using around children.

BE SUPPORTIVE, NOT CRITICAL
Constructive criticism and helpful suggestions are welcome IF REQUESTED by the receiving member. Outright criticism and judgment are not welcome here. This is a place to support people into positive change, not a place to tell them how they're doing it wrong. Members who criticize or create an unsupportive environment may be banned from this forum.

PLEASE TAKE HEATED DISAGREEMENTS OFFLINE
While it's okay to have a discussion about topics in which we disagree, if the discussion turns into a heated argument, please take it offline. The moderators are not here to be referee's, so they will not intervene in arguments.

DO NOT GIVE ANYBODY YOUR LOGIN
Only those who have a login can post on this forum. The only way to guarantee this rule is if each individual keeps their login information to themself. Please remember that individuals here are sharing heartfelt details of their lives, so do not share you login information with anybody.

BE AWARE OF WHO IS READING THIS FORUM
