[QUOTE="DDD, post: 96877, member: 35"] There is a wide variation in posts and post responses. There always have been and probably always will be. Ant's Mom is a good example. Janet has always had many responses to her posts even though very few CD family members have experienced the long ongoing complex issues that have made up her life for more than seven years. Why? Well for one thing her posts were interesting and most everyone was rooting for her to survive and for Ant to "see the light" and...it was like being inside a sad soap opera. Mickey's posts receive alot of responses because his issues are also an interesting read. You can picture his defiant darling son headed for disaster even if you don't have a child like him. You wonder "omg, what's going to happen next?" Is wife going to "see the light"? The reason that the T&SA is "home" for me is because I know I can share the truth here and I know that although many of the CD family members here have not experienced my issues per se, all the posters here are willing to listen. Very often I don't need a response. I just need to share and know that some of you have read what I am feeling and hope that somehow things will be better soon for me and mine. Over the years we have had difficult children who have died, difficult children who have threatened self harm, difficult children who have been arrested and treated unfairly, difficult children who have prostituted themselves...it goes on and on with stories of fright, sadness, danger, fear. This is a soft place to land. Sometimes it is a place to chit chat but mostly I see it as an understanding, caring place to vent. I guess what I am saying is this. The T & SA family is like comfortable family. You don't have to talk (or write). You can express your feelings and feel safe while you do it. It's like being in a comfortable family room. You don't have to talk to me.......I just know you are there and I'm not alone. Now..lol..the watercooler is a place to chit chat!! DDD [/QUOTE]
