[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 118277, member: 1587"] I have thought about this thread for awhile now and I think what Busywend said is on the mark. While I don't like argumentative and negative posts we are a board of many people, different experiences but one commonality... Our difficult children are our main concern and sharing what has worked, or not, is what we do. [img]:smile:[/img] Our methods are varied, just as our difficult children are and though I have been gone for awhile I do know that some of us push our point stronger than others, different personalities... and some of us do have opinions that come across harsher than others... again differing personalities but from what I gather the board rules are the same as they were when I came here in '04. We are not doctor's, psychs or medical people when we come here..we are parents whose hearts are breaking because we are dealing with the many problems that are difficult children. [img]:frown:[/img] and are ready to pull our hair out. I remember the title to my first thread..oh so many years ago.. "I am the one that want's to run away". [img]:frown:[/img] I received a response that I thought was harsh, almost didn't come back, but sought counsel from one of our gentler, established members and worked it out. In looking back now I realize that the response was not that harsh...the place I was at in my emotional life was. [img]:frown:[/img] The many views here give much food for thought...sometimes very painful thought. [img]:frown:[/img] But we do have to remember that the newbies are tender when they come here...and this is a "Soft Place to Land". [img]:smile:[/img] To the newbies I would say, just what busywend said.. "Take what you need and leave the rest." This is a place to grow, learn and hopefully get help for our difficult children...and ourselves. It is a place to connect for support, care and valuable information... but... not to be taken over the advice of professionals... perhaps to be better able to ask the right questions and seek the correct help. It has saved my sanity more than once. [img]:smile:[/img] So there is my .02 [img]:smile:[/img] Good thread Totoro [img]:thumb:[/img] [/QUOTE]
