When I wrote about my daughter moving, I got a violation. I wish I could have read all your answers.?

I saw your comment Mary.Some people have no heart, I would hate to think they are someones daughter or son, or mother or father.

When my first son left home for college I felt like I had lost part of my life. Even though I knew he had to make his own way it was over two years before I could think too deeply without crying. He has come home for holidays and is always the same loving son. I still worry and think of him all through out the day but the tears have finally stopped.

Here is what I did that helped me. I got a job and throughout that time I befriended a few young people. When they needed advice or any kind of help I did my best to make their day brighter and happier and so much easier sometimes.

By helping them I helped myself. I have tried since then to turn my hurts into halos. Is there something you can do that is similar in nature.? It works wonders for the soul. I know from reading a few of your questions that your situation right now is not ideal, and I don't know how much free time you have. The age of your grandchildren is also unknown to me. See if you can evaluate your circumstances and if your time table is adjustable you could come up with a great idea to find some children in your area that need more in their life. Some thing that you could possibly offer them. I'll be around to read your questions and I hope to hear you are doing well. I could e-mail you if you like. I know we are both private in our own way, sometimes you have to jump in the water and just know you can swim.

I answered you and I'm sorry you had the violation. I could tell how upset you were and there were some good answers there. I agree with the suggestion to repost and be sure to put it in a question, since everything here has to be in question and answer format. When you do that we can answer you once more. Again, sorry you're going through the added stress.

I was the one who moved, to the other side of the world and Lord I missed my daughter so much ! It was agony for me, and xmas was almost unbearable without my kids.

One way we found to feel close here when she was living only one time zone away was to play games together online, like wheel on messenger - we used all sorts of funny emoticons, and laughed until our stomachs ached.

Messenger has a live talk feature too so get some headphones, and you can talk to her just like on the phone, for free, and clear as a bell --

I'm sorry for you, I didnt think it would happen to me but I suffered horrifically from having an empty nest and being away from my children. I finally gave up the idea of living overseas because I missed them too much, and missed the little guy so much.

Keep busy - thats all I can advise you to do.

I agonize with you on this. I answered a question about a month ago as to have you seen the eclipse of the moon yet.

I got a violation and my answer was removed. I have asked repeatedly to show me the answer and tell me what I did wrong only to get a canned response. I hope you have better luck.

I was once simply writing an e-mail to considered one of my contacts approximately this very field. I spent the morning in my gymnasium and I was once announcing that it is such a lot higher there as no person even thinks approximately violating me whilst I'm figuring out, but if I drag my weary butt onto Y/A...certain as all shyte I get violated. My buddy received violated for writing the phrase nipples. I received violated for writing "stinky nuts". PS. I love chocolate chip cookies ....

Just dont understand it either. Its pretty pointless emailing Y!A. I got a violation email and when I asked for it to be investigated they just sent me a spiel about the guidelines. When I emailed back and said that according to the email they sent I had not violated any guidelines. They then sent back some waffle about not being able to enter into private queries or investigations, waffle and gobble degook. Just take on the chin and don't worry about it.

I never saw your question, so if you don't mind my asking, why did you get a violation? It's amazing what is okay & what's not okay. I mean some of the questions/answers are not acceptable, & deleting them is a given but some of the violations aren't fair in my book.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I told you that I hoped you were in a position to pull up stakes and follow her.

My daughter moved away for a couple of years, and I never had the chance to visit her, but she kept in close touch (she always has) through phone calls, notes and e-mail.

I hope you can at least visit if you can't move.

I am sorry to say that there seems to be an outbreak of violations notices here in this section, and I have no idea why...one member had posted many, many questions yesterday, one of which I found offensive, but just said so in my answer, had ALL her questions removed! I Have no idea why, unless she withdrew them all...I have no idea what is going on here! In fact, I just noticed that the same person posted many questions today and all of them have been removed! If this is Yahoo's doing, they certainly act faster in this section than other sections where questions should be removed immediately are are not...questions that are highly discriminatory in nature, bashing questions seem to linger on and on, and yet here, questions dissappear quickly...what the hell is all this?

I remember your question.

I suggested that if you can not follow them to live closer, that you remember that this is the age of computers. If you buy a web cam (and give your daughter a going away gift of one) it will mean that you can keep in touch daily with video mail.

Your grandchildren would probably adore watching grandma on the computer screen.
