[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 738672, member: 4040"] I've been around for twenty-something years, and have seen many changes on the board. When I first came, needing help with my eight-year-old Gift from God, there were many other parents searching for help for their children that wasn't, at that time, readily available. Hubby and I were driving three hours one way to attend seminars and therapy related things. Now, locally, there are several options for people with difficult children. The difficulties have changed from primarily children with mental health issues to concerns about addicted children/adults. That's all right. Though my Gift from God is 27, and is considerably less difficult, drugs were not/are not our issue. No matter. The board adapts to what most people need, and still, after all these years, offers support for hurting parents. It's still a soft place to land, whether you're needing a soft place or just want to offer good thoughts and support to those parents who are going through hell. I still check in several times a week, and read along, though I can't provide first-hand experiences or solutions to the difficulties these parents are going through. As for the ratings system - this isn't American Idol, folks. We're here to help carry each other through the tough times. Some of us will stick around, check in, and help the newbies. Some will leave. We do what we need to do to get by. [/QUOTE]
