I have to agree with Anne.  While I agree that LACTNET is not a place for violent rants etc... i do feel that allowing women debrief about situations that are challenging in an open and honest way can be very healing and empowering for her/him as well as those reading the post who often face the same frustrating situations but have no one to talk to about it.  i grieve for mothers who choose ABM over breastfeeding.  I grieve for their baby.  But I conceal this grief from the mothers I support and from friends and family...because to do so in the society in which I live and work would be heresy!!  So I come here instead to remember that I am not the only one.  I can learn different ways of handling these frustrations, and laugh along with the jokes that help to keep me sane in a ABM world gone mad...

If we can't vent our frustration about non breastfeeders and non
breastfeeding supporters here, then where can we?
