    I want to explain my recent reaction to a new poster. You can choose to quit reading now or go on.

    I realize this person was probably in a lot of pain......scrappymomma

    It seems to me that that the initial post was out of frustration and fear of her own feelings but she took it upon herself to put everyone on this board on the defensive.

    I am amazed at how tolerant and understanding you all were. I applaud you for your tolerance and patience.

    I for one, could not stand her initial post....why? It was exactly as harsh as my own Mother was to me, ....I was not df'd, I was not da'd but it was the same harshness. The admiting of her own faults, but finding everyone else substandard because the society has says so.

    She apologized, and so did my mom, after called on it..., but its like a light switch, on, off, on off...depending on thier mood, or latest instructions.

    I apologize, I did not mean to make a scene....it was just very hard for me.

    Thanks for reading.

    Well said Restrangled!

    We all have either had those bad experiences are they are the fear that keeps us walking on egg shells.

    That is what make this site so theraputic for so many. We all have good days and bad one.

    I am glad you and Scrap came to terms!

    No worries... There are things with all of us that strike the wrong cord. Hope you are feeling better about it though!

    Or you try to never let one get close enough to see them switch.

    I can understand why you felt that way and reacted they way you did.

    I could see past scrapmama's original post because I recognised myself a couple of years ago.
