Yes my opinion, not a lecture.
aberfoyle: That's your opinion Shelley...I've been there thanks, and was just voicing my opinion.

Don't lecture me on that thanks.

Jason will choose to do what suits him...regardless of what you or I think or believe

I thank you all for your wisdom and understanding,Shelley on the other hand needs to get out and get some experience under her belt before passing judgement on me or anyone....

Your so funny alright Jason, you put up a messagem, people put in their opinions and you diss them, nice real nice. as for me having experience i have plenty, i have worked and cared for people who still suffer from traumas through them being in the war, from all walks of life, so don't even go there Jason, you don't know crap about me, Good luck for your future.

I'm sure we can all not truly understand this unless we have first hand knowledge, those of us that do have that knowledge I am sure are sensitive to the subject.

The key is respecting everyones view on things and not letting a subject like this get out of hand, voice our opinions and hopefully help each other in some way.wine

I agree with you Tina opinions are essential in the forums.Passing Judgement however in any case is wrong for any reason unless as you have said,you have the experience yourself of the problem.Shelley I worked for many years with RSL home services doing exactly the same job as you and watching the veterans die of old age and broken spirits.My Grandfather went through the war and rose from private to Major after recieving every medal for bravery and valour in the royal army.I merely asked for advice here not some holier than thou passing judgement on my person.

I think the problem hits home with many of us and inevitably gets out of hand, but your right sxcc were not here to judge, were here to hopefully voice our opinions, lend a shoulder, and no need to turn it around into an attackathon, Jason you did wat you thought best with your little ones best interest at heart, and possibly i would do the same given the same situation, bi polar is bad enough but schizophrenia as well would be heartbreaking, look after your little one Jase and bugger wat anyone else says you did wat you had to do, good for you!peace

spot on Phae.thumbs up Hold your head high Jason and take comfort in the thought you did what you thought was best, that is all anyone can ask of you.wine

I'm sure any parent would put their children first, even before their partner. I know I would in a hearbeat.

Shelly, Jase already stated that he has left his wife, and having to deal with actually leaving, would be much harder than thinking about it, you have had your say, so no need to get all NARKY about it, your not a child, and these threads are not here to put others down but to hopefully help and be some sort of support, so were here for you jason wave

wave wave wave Hey sxcccccc girl i keep missing you, how have you binhug



shelley_bee Gisborne, Gisborne New Zealand
Hang on Phae, i totally agree with you, but if you read the threads i wrote to jason were my opinions yes, but also supportive of his decision, i did not put anyone down (other than the last one)and if you read his referring to me, he was the one putting me down. so im not being narky about nothing, but i still stand by what i said. My opinion and nothing else and if he don't like what i said fine, but no need for him to get personal, e.g. i need to get a life, oh please like i said to him, he don't no crap about me. thank you for your advise, wisdom or whatever you would like to call it, but to be honest, i totally can't be bothered about having this conversation or even coming back into this thread or any other thread that jason puts out there, I wouldn't want to upset him.

have a good day. peace
