[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 561571, member: 13542"] Geez MWM, I'm sorry to hear you feel that way..............here's my two cents: You fit here great, your point of view is necessary, the way in which you express yourself is exactly what some folks will respond to and be able to hear. Each one of us with our different styles of communication will impact those who have a similar one and can really hear us, so all the different styles and point of views are exactly what make this board such a rich and welcoming experience for everyone. You can scroll along looking for a response that says what you need to hear in the way you need to hear it. I don't believe you "should try to be better" at all, I believe the responses you offer are authentically YOU, as mine are authentically me, and everyone else's are authentically them, none of us could change who we are in order to fit in here, nor should we, nor would we want to, we would compromise the very core of why this works so well. There are all kinds of different ways of saying something intrinsically the same and yet at the same time, very different. We are all struggling with our kids, it helps all of us to read all the posts which come from the hearts of the parents here, each offers a new clue to how we can be comforted but also find out answers and solutions. You have a lot of information and experience to offer and you are part of the fabric of this board; what you may look at as "cold and clinical" to me comes across as informative, knowledgeable and very straightforward. The delivery is simply the means by which the information comes to us, what is valuable is who you are, what your experience has been, the level of care and support you bring and the fact that you take the time to read the post, acknowledge it, respond to it and offer your take on it. I hope that helps! Just be YOU, that's all any of us can do..........................HUGS.................. [/QUOTE]
