Hi Mary
I am sure you have heard of MOBI http://www.internetbabies.com/mobi/

"The purpose of MOBI (Mothers Overcoming Breastfeeding Issues) is to give
women a place to discuss their emotions over not being able to breastfeed
successfully. Many women are unable to breastfeed because of milk supply
problems, long or short term separation after the birth of their child,
previous breast surgery or lack of support and are overwhelmed with feelings
of disappointment, anger, sadness, inadequacy and many others. Some women
suffer depression because of these issues. This list is not to discuss the
pros and cons of breast over bottle. There are many other resources for that
information. We are here to provide a safe atmosphere to share feelings and
to connect with other women going through the same process."
  I love this website (probably created and maintained by lactnetters)
because I am aware that, in Australia, the 'breast is best' message is well
and truly out there (largely perpetuated by formula manufacturers who ad a
list BUTs to the end) but what good support there is for mothers is
stretched very thin.  It is a safe place for mothers to vent and to come to
realistic conclusions about what went wrong for them.
