Most of you are probably aware by now that I have decided to leave Mac, I wanted the oppurtunity to compose this blog to give you all my reasons. As selfish as this may seem, I feel that I am in need of some 'me' time in order to grieve my own lose,I'm constantly reminded of Cancer when i enter the room and I strongly feel that I need to back away from this kind of conversation and focus on trying to turn that corner in dealing with my own emotions. Also I feel that on quite a number of occasions I have walked into what I can only describe as very childish conversation in the room. When monitoring this I notice a fair few 'newbies' entering and they clearly are in desperate need of support which quite frankly in my opinion is very limited. It was not like this when I first joined Mac,therefore I feel the site has very much decreased in the level of support that people receive. I did'nt just want to walk away without saying a huge thank you to each and every single one of you for your continued support from the first day that I joined up until the present. I don't know what I would have done some days without the chat room and I have met some truly wonderful people during my time here. I already have most of you on FB so I will continue to keep in contact with you there, those of you that dont have FB I will gladly pass on my email address. Thank you once again and I wish you all a happy,safe and prosperus future..... Trudy xxxx
