I'm sorry you feel attacked. I don't think it was Jody's intention of doing so at all. Like I've said : Tone and intention are not readable in written word. I think a lot of this was miscommunication, mostly on my part. Perhaps "contempt" was an improper use of verbiage for your original post and I do think that's what set it off the most for you and irked you. I apologize for my miscommunication. Though, your second post on the topic says quite a bit about my initial thoughts on your first post. I think when we have bad experiences it colors how we perceive others and our surroundings a lot.
I am not here to change you, your ideals on parenting and I'm not here to make you "switch sides". I'm here, as all of us are, for the same thing you are. Support and understanding. Perhaps we should avoid the topic when interacting with each other if you are comfortable to agree to disagree Robin? I think amicable would best suit us all at this point and perhaps one day we can revisit when and if you desire to. If not, that's okay too.
