[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 737512, member: 18958"] I msy be the minority but I worry that too many fun /light threads that have not a thing to do with difficult children or parenting or recovering from difficult childhoods and families, risks turning this forum away from its mission--which I see as support, problem solving and changing dynamics in families with troubled kids. Sometimes I come here lately and only find threads about non-related themes. Does this dilute the focus of the forum? For me, yes. This forum was and is a lifeline for me and others. I have found nothing else like here. The integrity and community and honesty and focus. I would be very sad if it turns into something different. If we want fun threads I think we each need to contribute to the threads which are the backbone here. Which give this place its identity, meaning, usefulness and power. There is no desire to offend. Just to defend. If we do not stand up for here, we risk losing it. Standing up for here to me means standing up for content that strengthens the core mission and does not weaken or dilute it. The fun threads are icing on the cake, but not a substitute for it. [/QUOTE]
