Oh my elvis, welcome to the world of PTSD as a whole... Or me as I get accused at times too (we both get thought of as being too blunt that may sound mean but we are not really mean). Let me put a different spin OK and see if I can smooth it over? I can say, as bec and I can annoy each other, so again I can say this safely, until we got to understand each other.

Bec has a lot of things going on as we all do and sometimes we crash. All of us members, editors, and the creator have PTSD too and are not immune. She was bowing out instead of just not responding; me I may ask a question and wait to see other view points if I hit a wall. Not responding and dropping seems harsh at times as does just bowing out (catch 22). If I am wrong she will say so but I am getting a feel of her now... We are not immune to symptoms flaring and life kicking us down. Now I say as I know becs way of thinking (and if wrong she will no doubt correct me) when she said "argue"... It was as in try to show you a different point of view. Not literally argue with you. She and I have had some debates, but we both knew it was not mean spirited and we both learned. She is having a rough patch right now like we all get. You get two rough patches in one thread it looks more like a head on collision.

I can promise no one is saying it did or not one way or another. Some of us here are learning to cope with seperation anxiety from child parent relationships right now as it is too. While it may not be a cause of PTSD it most certainly is an issue that must be dealt with to heal from it. When having PTSD you have to learn to cope with so much more emotional baggage that you may be able to cope with if you did not have PTSD.

The info you share is welcome, the more we know the better. But we all have bad days... She was just bowing out and leaving you in more capable hands is all. Anthony does wonders at helping and getting people in the right direction when we don't have it in us. You have to understand it is hard to mentor when you are having a rough patch.

He leaves what he can in our hands (forum members) until we hit a mental block and then he kicks in if you really want to work on it (and that keeps him more than busy) plus the board. Or if we give advice he does not agree with. He is a pro at this. Without him I would be dead, I mean it. So she wasn't being an ass... But again she was just trying to put you in a more capable person's hands to guide you. And that is the best she can do for you... Any of us can do. We all as a whole on this forum, every last member try to fill in where others leave off. If it gets really sticky we call on Anthony as he has always been able to help sort issues for people to work with. Just after that it is up to you to do the work.

You are welcome here and your self esteem will improve no doubt if you keep it up here. Again it takes a lot for us to delete a post... Won't be deleting this either.
