I discovered this site when I was recovering from a serious illness. I had been forced to spend entire days, helpless in my recliner, until my husband came home and helped me with the simplest of things, until I could regain strength and function. I got discouraged and depressed and began avidly questioning the meaning of my life. I decided to start searching for a forum where I could feel safe discussing such things, and where I could be supported. That is how I found PNF. I joined and never left!
What I have learned here is that I won't be dismissed, disrespected, or mocked for my beliefs and abilities. Debi is the fierce protectress of this place, and most of us who know and love her and these forums will defend it too, if necessary. I learned that there are some truly awesome people here, who are real and who are strong in spirit. I have learned that together we can be a real force against darkness. I have learned valuable strategies for coping with the ever present darkness that haunts most souls, and have learned valuable ways to set boundaries and protect myself.
