Hi currently I'm limbo or rather feel as i am, I've been trying wirh the idea for ages now about joining another online disabled community, but I'm feeling like I can't because I'm too scared of what my family will think and tell me to get off it! Or do I don't for me and **** the consequences.

    Hi @pooleemily29

    Dating sites can definitely be daunting but if you really want to do it then you should definitely give it a go! You can always delete your account if you don't get on it

    @Mary_Scope I could but I've always got to think about what my family might think.

    I understand @pooleemily29, family opinions can carry a lot of weight. But at the end of the day, you’re the one living your life. It’s okay to think about their perspective, but your happiness and what you think, need and want matter too!

    I agree with @Mary_Scope as she is wise in the ways of life and love.

    I love my family with all my heart, but there does come a time where you have to get out of their shadow a bit and stop letting them wrap you up in so much cotton wool. I'm sure they're just wanting to look out for you, but your opinion matters too, as it is your life.

    I'd try and have a chat with them and let them know how you're feeling. 😊
