pharmaT,
I have to say, some of the comments on here are amazing & I had a few tears reading them!!!
Too many to mention but please, please take the advice from Igor!!!
I won't go into things here but at the end of last yr I had a similar thing going on (in a different context & circumstance) but the whole thing 'got to me' to the point I lost all interest in my most important hobby (genealogy), nothing to do with the root problem, (no pun intended)!
I received a message from RC via fb.
A few 'RC friends' had been concerned about my absence (some of who have posted on this thread) & believe me, that was my turning point, knowing people were genuinely concerned although they didn't know my reason as I just disappeared from the 'outside world' & the place I spent most of my spare time (RC).
I was very low, had given up virtually everything & mentally I was feeling just that 'worthless'!!!
Those few kind words made such a huge difference as my own problem had now basically became theirs, the fact people noticed I wasn't around.
I realised there are genuine people out there & didn't want them worrying & having by that time, forgot my password...yes, a password I'd used for donkeys yrs but my mind was blank!
I got it all sorted with Sarah, logged back in & so glad I did as RC is where I'm most happy.
Please take heed of peoples words, they're meaningful & put the obnoxious person you were dealing with out of your head as (s)/he doesn't affect your daily life the way mine was & still is!
Can I just ask, is the person who commented on your tree, connected/related to your tree?
If so, have they picked out faults/errors or what, apart from not having ‘handled’ primary records?
Keep up your great work & feel very, very proud your dau has her roots at heart at such a young age (as I was too) & feel proud she has the knowledge ‘£ doesn’t grow on trees’ i.e. accepting things are tight, how very caring it is of her to have that attitude when so much is geared round ‘named’ clothes, perfumes etc.
Your dau shows her love & more importantly, understands, simply with those words “wasn't going to ask me as she knew money was tight”.
Please read over Igor’s words again & again as I have already learned a lot from them!
Thank you Igor!!!
Annie
