A few months ago I posted a discussion asking whether people thought it was too soon for me to have another child, and a discussion relating to my financial situation at the time. I copped alot of slack for both discussions. I was criticised, insulted, and had offers of supprot,as well as concerned members. I had misplaced accusations, and brutal honesty. Well to all of those who responded to those discussions I wanted to update you. 1. I did not have another child, we decided to wait- and are still waiting. I dont know when, or if, we will have another child, but it wont be in the near future thats for sure. 2. Physically, I'm all better. Thank you to all those who showed genuine concern, and support for my health. And for your suggestions. 3. Mentally, Im doing great. Ive been off Zoloft for 2 and a half months and I feel in control,and happy. 4. Financially, now this is the BEST and BIGGEST news of all. We did NOT go bankrupt! We have paid all of our debts, and are now saving for a first hoem deposit! I am earninga full time income working from home, and my partner is still working so... thiongs are finally going well. I am also waiting on hearing back about a few jobs I have been interviewed for! So fingers crossed. Its amazing how much can change in just two months. But thanks again guys, and Im glad I can report back some good news!!! By the way, even though I havent managed to get around to the hundreds of responses I received to these discussions, I am trying, so I will get there, and I have READ them all, even if I havent responded to you as of yet!!!

Thanks sabrinam. Your right, I might be more rich in a financial sense, but the best thing I have gained is self confidence, and knowledge. Knowing that we, as a family, can get through everything...together, and that things arent always as bad and as final as they may seem :)

It wasnt really about the number of responses I had received in the first place. Or about starting a "good discussions". It was about getting advice, opinions and views on major events and plans for my life, which I took into account when making my decision. Some people on mylot write outrageous, controversial topics merely to get responses. I wrote honestly, about a genuine concern in my lfe at that time, and was barraged with insults, and criticisms. I appreciate their honesty now but at the time, felt attacked. I was NOT lucky at all. I worked my b*tt off to get out of the dire predicament I was in...

Heya megs, Great to hear that you are doing better and you have gotten alot of your difficulties sorted out. Saving for your first home deposit certainly sound very exciting! I am also glad that you have managed to get on top of your health and you finance. Thanks for keeping us updated, I was wondering what had happened in regards to some of those discussions you mentioned. Tanika.

Thanks Tanika, I am pretty excited. Its nice to be able to see something for our money for once, and not have to live on a week to week basis.

I didn't respond to your earlier post as quite new on here, but I am so glad that things are going well for you now and life is looking up! I think 2006 was a bad year for alot of people and the dawn of 2007 has seen many peoples lives change for the better so perhaps this may have triggered you getting better luck. Continue to have good luck - all the best!

Thanks for the good wishes. I think a lot of people really did have a hrd time of it all in 2006. But i believe you get out of life what you put into it, and we really have been trying, so its nice to see its finally paid off :)

It sounds to me like you have really come about and are in control of life. You can have that great family life you want if you work together responsibly you can increase family or do whatever you wish. Just stay on track for your goals and review them regularly. Congratulations on your success.
