Ignore

Hi,
I see that John the Dragon has replied with anger to a post I submitted. I was already to send something back, and then I realized that I was going to be as childish and immature as he is being. My husband was a psychologist, and he would have told me to ignore this man and his flagrant disregard for the feelings of others. I think I am beginning to see that he NEEDS this attention we are giving him. It makes him feel important. Why else would someone try to inflict his feelings on others?
As Morgan said, this is a GRIEF site for those who want to seek comfort and be able to share the most sorrowful feelings. None of us WANT to feel the way we do! Unfortunately, our loss is much more significant and painful than those of some others.
I wish those people well! I hope they can overcome what I cannot, but I do not want to be chastised or lectured for feeling my loss.
Consider ignoring this man, and maybe we will not FEED the DRAGON! That is what he wants!
Remember, Dragons are fictious beings; they are not real. So maybe that is why they cannot feel deep emotions!

Ignoring this sort of personality is difficult but it's the only way to deal with it.  In the first five minutes of the first forum on the internet, trolls started appearing.  They live for the reaction they can get from stirring things up.  The more they can antagonize and hurt others, the more fulfilled they feel.  Deny them any reaction, they usually drift away in search of more vulnerable victims.  Thus the saying, "Please don't feed the trolls."  Trolling the emotions and broken hearts of the grieving is despicable but characteristic of the type.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
