I feel the same way as mimi. Give another human being a break. We are not all robots, life gets in the way sometimes and if someone is more emotional than another so what, isn't that when they need more building up than destroying.
I think Catherine deserves a kind word and a bit of support if, IF, something is going on with her but who knows, its all guess work anyway.
You certainly can see the nastier side of human nature on forums, must be the incognito aspect. I certainly don't come accross this type of abuse or backbiting in my daily work or home life, perhaps everyone goes home and gets it off their chests in this way, picking on innocent people who they don't even know.
As soon as I see an opening thread about a presenter or guest you just know what is coming... even if it starts off complimentary.
If Catherine does venture onto here, and I hope she doesn't, it would be nice for her to read some good things about her.
I for one admire her for being a hard working mother. Following her on Twitter it seems has raised two very nice and well adjusted children. She looks great, I wish I had her figure also having had two children. She seems to have bought a new place and has worked hard making it a home for her family.
None of this single mum benefit scrounging winging from her.
After all her sucking upto Lulu Guinness, she has probably started working in one of her shops. :grin:
keep your fingers crossed that CH isnt announced as having a serious illness. you'll be accused of being "nasty" by the self-righteous police on here. amongst others.
It just goes to show that whatever lifestyle, salary (tv presenters being well paid!!) constant freebies to try/keep etc etc that deep down we are all a bundling mess of emotion, all the same as each other. Everybodys situations get on top of you and sometimes you cope and sometimes you go under with it all.
Last year I had job worries which resulted in a nervous breakdown, followed by redundancy!, followed by unexpected gyny surgery, followed by resultant health problems followed by cancer scare followed by more surgery for biopsies etc, resulting in major surgery being necessary over the next few weeks.
Stress, depressions, fear I have had it all over the last 12 months and it seems set to continue for the foreseeable but deep down it just goes to show that whoever we are and whatever walk of life we come from, however rich or poor we are everyone is the same. We all falter and need help from time to time and I for one hope that if Catherine is suffering in her personal life that she does ok and is back on air very soon.
Moving house is enough to deal with on its own.
Sending good wishes to CH, Spooky and silversequin. Hope things turn around for the better for you very, very soon.
