[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 185055"] I tend to agree with- Barbara here. However, when folks here take the great time to really listen and comment on posts it can be helpful, even if it isn't what a person wants to hear. I do think it takes care in its presentation. No enabling...but no condemnation either (condemnation is not helpful and often backfires). Like anyone else, when a person hears difficult information, but feels it is coming from an experienced source who is kind, they are more likely to act upon what they have heard. We can only hope that when our difficult children express an interest in doing better that folks out there will [I]wisely walk the fine line between not enabling, but kindly helping them inch forward.[/I] [/QUOTE]
