[QUOTE="Andy, post: 172937, member: 5096"] As long as our faithful monitors don't tell you that your are out of line, there is a good chance that your post has helped someone if not the person you wrote to. There are so many difficult children out there and so many parents, grandparents, caretakers looking for answers and though we may not have them, what we do say may help keep someone on the right track. I know for me, I can go through a situation with my difficult child and come out saying, "What was that? What could have I done to make it better?" Then someone will give advise that will help next time. The funny thing, this same advise might be what I just gave someone else but did not recognize it for myself because I was too close emotionally to the moment. Detach - This board is teaching me that. I also get a lot of help without responding - sorry! We all know that each of us live different lives, have different parenting styles, and face different challenges with each difficult child. We have to remember that what we write may not fit the situation and what advise is given to us comes from someone who doesn't know the entire story with funfilled (not) details. We know we do not want to offend so we take the benefit of the doubt that what we receive is not meant to offend. Are your posts helpful? Absolutely!!! Just may not always be for the person looking for the input, though the person receiving does benefit from all input given in good faith and friendship. [/QUOTE]
