lizzie,
i have waited a little to reply to you.
i think my last post was a little harsh, i am sorry if you feel this is some kind of conspiricy. it isn't.

when you shut down your FB page, it would have been nice if you had posted thats what you were going to do. even just the day before then shut it down. but it seems as though you cared nothing for the friends you did have and how they would take it.

personal feelings aside.
i see why people get so angry and frustrated talking to you. take the worry about dave. rather than making him feel better, you probably worried the hell out of him.
sometimes too much info is worse than not knowing.
where you could have said my son had it, it is very nasty, so please be watchful and be ready to phone an ambulance. you went on about your experiance, i can only imagine how scary that was, but may have just scared the bloke senseless needlessly.

i think the problem is that you don't relate your feelings to anyone else.maybe if you could be abit more empathetic it would help you communicate?

i know you feel victimised and there is a way to stop this happening. if you wanted it to.
it often comes across as you want and need the attention that being controversial brings.
