[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 683178, member: 19522"] I hope the same. Even if folks are not posting in FOO, they are still [I]viewing[/I]. As you are saying Serenity, the board started out to help young children, but apparently, it has evolved and grown into a [I]multifaceted[/I] soft place for battle weary parents. This is the way I found CD six months ago. Although our children have grown and are adults,[I] we are still their parents.[/I] No matter what a child's age, if parents have unresolved FOO issues and are able to work through them on the forum, or recognize the need to, will they not perhaps become better people through working to resolve old wounds, and thus, better parents? I hope the FOO forum stays, it has some very valuable information there. I was helped tremendously early on reading through older threads in FOO. That helped me recognize that I had issues that I needed to work through. Stuff cropped up that made me wonder in the blaming stage I went through, if it was me, because of issues I had from growing up. Working through that was [I]really important.[/I] I see what you are saying SWOT, you are missing the way things were when you first came on board. I am sorry that it has changed too much, and parents of younger children are not posting as often. I must say that posting here has helped me so much and I value the members, old and new as well as the staff. I do not know what I would have done.[I] I cannot afford therapy.[/I] I can think of a few new members in SA as well as PE, who are posting now. Though it may not be as busy as before, I think if this forum helps a few people, or many, it is still[I] helping people[/I]. There is no price can be put on that. I am also very sorry if my style of posting has offended anyone. I am more on the dramatic side and that is just me. I can be long "winded" too, and hope I have not scared people off with my style of venting, or responding. I have to tell you, I am a bit saddened by this. I thought that I had come to a place where I could be me. As you know, I am more than a wee bit "out there" at times, but it is truly who I am........I have not held back and perhaps have been wrong to do so here. I apologize again if I have offended anybody, I am truly thankful for the help I have received. I do not feel I can be anybody else than who I am, so if my posting my true feelings, or the length, correct spelling, or grammar (well geez, I am not that good at grammar, but I do check my spelling most times, those red squiggly lines drive me batty.....) and what, how, etc. has caused anyone any problems with posting, or joining, [I]I would rather not continue.[/I] I don't know if I have offended anyone, I have not received any messages to that note, [I]but am concerned [/I](as you can tell). :sorrysmiley: I have learned so much here from the kind folks who have posted and replied and I value deeply the lessons and opportunity to be here. What helped me the very most in stopping the craziness of enabling......... is learning and believing, [I]that I must be true to myself. [/I] Much love, thanks and apologies...... :backingout: leafy [/QUOTE]
