I didn't want to hijack any thread but I've lurked here a little bit and been so sad for some of the posters from their truly awful situations... and then I read more of a thread and without fail, there is always support, honest understanding, sympathy, firm kindness and unfailing good advice. To me that's true female solidarity.
So many posters helped, so patiently, and probably many more who need help but don't post. They can read and be supported in their own way.
If ever there was a board that should be star-rated, it's this one. Just wanted to say that. :)
