[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 761459, member: 18958"] I hope this isn't true. The strength of this forum is at the same time it's weakness. I know I came here so raw and vulnerable. I frequently felt attacked. It is true that some of us have more direct voices and we can step over the line in terms of our competence and experience to speak on certain issues. Unlike a 12-step group there is crosstalk here. I don't know anywhere else where on a given thread a dozen or so parents, when taken together representing 100 years of experience with what we are dealing with, their adult kids mirroring ours in so many facets. And more than this--the caring, the depth of feeling--as or more important than direct knowledge and experience. I understand if you don't post again. Maybe you have resources in your life as good or better. I didn't. [/QUOTE]
