[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 638872, member: 14557"] Dang, wasn't quick enough to edit my message to add this so I feel the need to address this in new message: I'm certainly not trying to claim or imply that anyone would be mean-spirited at this board. I'm sure everyone just tries to support other people in the way think is best. But even without the ill spirit dogmatism and upmanship can be hurtful. And that it is about when one goes around telling confused and hurting people how they are doing everything wrong, how they have to follow certain path to achieve peace and happiness and how it is insane to make different choices. Or telling people they love, and people we don't know, are this or that (usually bad) and certainly thinking or doing this or that (usually bad) because someone we know who has vague similarities to their loved also did. When you notice that you are starting to tell how people with autism always this or never that, or people with substance abuse issues always this or that or people with bipolar never that, you are in very thin ice. And even more so when one starts to make assumptions of parents based on their kid doing this or that (like, oh, your adult kid who may even have issues, lives home, you are guilty of enabling and sick and need to admit it.)
