[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609539, member: 1550"] If somebody is really hurting, there is really no need to worry about reading the forums. Sometimes we have people coming on here who don't seem to have any kids or are just here to judge us. Those are the people who should read the forums first to see if they are a fit. If you have no deeply troubled adult children or just have a two year old, why would you post advice here, ya know?? I remember how self-righteous I was about "bad" kids before I had one. I would have been horrible on one of these forums before I lived it (shudder). I really believed it was all because parents were "bad." How naive!!!! That doesn't happen very often. When it does, it is hurtful, but thankfully it is not common. I find it odd when somebody won't state the country they live in, which may give us some understanding as to their views. I can understand people who are timid about stating his/her city or even state (province) but country? Again, though, this is rare. But it does make it hard for us to be sensitive to cultural differences if we don't know what the culture is. [/QUOTE]
