[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 752907, member: 18958"] I have mentioned on this forum a book that is quasi religious by Victor Frankl a psychologist who was a holocaust survivor called "Man's Quest for Meaning." Although to be fair this book does not as far as I know mention G-d, the basis of the book is this. And there is a book that is commonly mentioned here by Townson and Cloud, about boundaries, which comes form a Christian point of view. And since many of the people who post here are in recovery through 12 step groups, in particular, there are many books mentioned here about faith. So. I agree, in part with Apple: But only in part. What do we have here if we don't have boundaries and voice? To stay here on this forum I need to have a voice about what makes me uncomfortable here. It's not just to write what is heartfelt and wholehearted. It is to give my voice to protecting hearts here. My own and others'. I do believe we are strong enough here to have this conversation. I think that all viewpoints here are worthy. While I am one who does not share this viewpoint, I did watch a youtube video of Priscilla Shirer to acquaint myself with this point of view. And I looked at the book on Amazon. I also alerted a moderator to this thread so that an administrator would be overseeing this conversation so as to protect the interests of the forum, which I see as trying to protect all sides: ensuring a safe and open forum for suffering and healing parents. If we look at it this way, all of us are on the same page, which is the well-being of this website that we love and need and want to maintain. [/QUOTE]
