[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 248310, member: 84"] Esther you make a very valid point. And I get it too. It's never my intention to hurt someone with a response I make. And most of the time I think I do a pretty good job censoring myself. I've deleted alot of responses simply because I felt they were too harsh or would be taken the wrong way. I know I'm not perfect with my responses though. And I do click out of many posts simply because they touch a nerve and I know it's better that I don't respond at all. But I do try. I've had many a poster come down hard on me. I'd like to think it was always with the best of intentions. I think usually it was, and I always took it that way whether or not I agreed with them. And I can think of a few times when blunt responses have opened my eyes to something I couldn't/didn't want to see. Sometimes I go for long stretches of not responding to Stands. Not because I'm mad at her......but because I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said repeatly. This last post I felt compelled to respond because it appeared her difficult child was once again manipulating her into doing something she really didn't want to do that she'd kick herself for later. It's awfully hard to truly realize the hold addiction has over a person, that it will cause them to do things you know for certain they'd never do off the drugs. That drug is the center of their universe. Not really quite like smoking...per se. Same idea I suppose, just not on the same level. hugs [/QUOTE]
