Great Response to a Huffington Post Article

Some people have a difficult time understanding why people struggling with infertility are not a little more open about their situation.  It is difficult to comprehend until you are in the middle of it all.  Sometimes I feel crazy because I will be completely comfortable opening up to a perfect stranger.  Then I clam up around friends or family who might ask about our situation.  There is really no rhyme or reason to it, but I have decided that it is ok for me to feel that way. 

A woman wrote an interesting article in the Huffington Post.  I have attached a response that I found quite intriguing.  It somewhat sums up how I feel about sharing.  Basically, the woman in the response is saying that the onus is also on the listener.  Sometimes people struggling with infertility choose not to share because of the frustruation that comes from the often insensitive responses (or altogether lack of response) from the listener.  Just thought I would share.
