[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 248455, member: 2315"] Ester, I just went back and read through the thread you refer to. While some of the posts do seem harsh I do believe that they were all made with the best of intentions. I remember getting some comments that were very hard to comprehend when I was dealing with my son's drug use and his judicial problems. It was all so alien to me and all I wanted to do was to save him. His types of problems were a first for my family. Some responses I got to this "save him" attitude were similar to those given to Stands. Initially I was much afrounted but when I really read the posts I realized that those hard comments were exactly what I needed to hear. THEY HELPED ME. So while I do try not to be overly harsh, I do often just tell it like I see it. I do this because I remember and give thanks for the hard line that my board sisters took. They made me realize I had to detach and let my son reap his consequences in order to get the chaos out of my life and save myself. Stands has been at this for a long time and I think we all wish she were further along the road to a peacful home than she is. For that reason I believe that some members have decided it is time to take out the "big guns" and make alot of noise so that maybe she will hear the message she so desperately needs to hear. -RM [/QUOTE]
