[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 118292, member: 3419"] I'm coming late to this discussion, but one of the best things about this bb is the wealth and variety of experiences and information. Actually, I like it when people say, "Because I was raised thus and such, this is how I see things," or "We tried this and this and this but only thus and such has worked," because it helps me see exactly where they're coming from. I love it when I see lots of different responses to the same question, because there is no one, single answer. And we are all thinking, feeling, intelligent people and can sift through things over as we choose. I also wouldn't worry too much about the negativity, because I recall reading through the notes when I was a newbie, for several days b4 I posted, just to see what kind of a place this was. What I saw, read and felt was that there were many, many people in the same boat, suffering through the same issues and emotional turmoil, and oftentimes, way worse off than I was. I saw that there were primarily parents on the bb, and that they had done their homework and come up with-some incredible information, and that first and foremost, this was a support board, at least for me. I didn't see negativity that would turn me off, just frustation that was very, very easy to identify with. FWIW. [/QUOTE]
