[QUOTE="nvts, post: 296189, member: 3814"] Whoa Gals! I need to put my 2 cent in here! Step: I love the way you work for the kids in this situation! You've been a real go to it gal for these kids and the fact that they want to call you mom speaks volume. Steps are what we take, not who you are. HOWEVER! I don't think anyone was targeting you for being a step mom, I think things just got a little heated - hey, that's what friends do, right? Good grief, we're women - we disagree and then it's over and done with. Don't feel that you can't post here or in general or anywhere else. Witz: I'm so sorry that this has stirred up so many deep seated feelings in you. PTSD is such a nasty thing: it just keeps creeping up on you no matter what - anything can be a trigger. Here's a suggestion: let's have the discussions in the Watercooler BUT when it looks like it's something that might be upsetting to Witz (or anyone else) Step can put that little triangly exclamation point "post icons" (show them the box below, Vanna!) thingy. What I'm trying to say is that we're all friends here, but I worry that there are going to be too many hard feelings over something that can easily be rectified. I truly feel that Step and Witz can work this whole thing out, and I don't think that Witz was anything but concerned for Step's feelings, she's just uncomfortable with the subject. Well, that's my suggestion - I hope I'm not offending anyone and nobody takes offense (I've been getting into it with H - no "D" for him right now- for the last few weeks and can't stand the idea of conflict here too! Later taters! Beth [/QUOTE]
