[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 96745, member: 1550"] Guys, I really didn't mean why don't some people post a lot...lol. Didn't mean a guilt trip thang. Just that some people can post and they get 50 responses and others barely get any. I wanted to help those who get less support, and try to figure out why we always gravitate towards certain posters. I get lots of responses and wonder if it's because I'm interactive or because I'm a writer and maybe I can express myself better???? I feel terribly that some don't get a lot of support. I never posted on "teens" until suddenly it dawned on me that I had a lot to offer because I lived the nightmare and survived and my daughter survived. This is an important board where many parents are literally fighting for their kids who are still minors, but often on the brink of "adulthood", at least in legal terms. It hit me fast that some people just get more support than others and I kind of wanted to analyze why that is. I in no way mean to condemn ANYBODY. I really just wanted to help. There are times I also don't respond because I don't feel I know enough to help or because somebody else said what I'd say or, worse, because I'm tired and don't feel like exercising my fingers. So please--don't take this wrong. This is a friendly post meant to contemplate why we don't give all the same support we give to some. I'm as guilty as anyone in that department!!! (((Hugs))) to all. This board is just filled with the wisest, kindest, and most wonderful people--nobody should feel bad if they don't answer all posts. Nobody can do THAT. Just, why does Peter get 50 responses and Paul get 2. Maybe conversing can help Paul get more board support...as usual, not sure I'm communicating the right things (sigh). I hope you all "get it."
