    Intolerance goes both ways - some people dont tolerate people who just don't know what better to say. Especially when people haven't walked in your shoes, depending on their upbringing, experience or education - they don't know what it's like. Most people say things not as a judgement, but they genuinely want to help. Understanding that it's not about you, its about them, is very important. As a society I think there is far too much going on about finding someone to blame, so we can feel better. For some people it's so difficult to see that this could be a person who wants to say the right thing, or give you something that could help you feel better... but when its not what you want to hear, you judge them as being a certain way.

    You can always stay in the FF section if you just want to talk to, hear from, support or be supported by FF mums. Thats why it was started up.
