I've been reading this ongoing drama with growing disbelief. First that someone would let a family member read, much less post in a restricted area was mind blowing. But to accuse another of causing a person's hospitalization...gee Anthony I didn't know that you had those kinds of powers! *Still waiting for the sarcasm icon to be added*
Last time I looked, I had yet to pay a fee for using this forum and my joining was voluntary. No one forced me to write down my traumas and I would definately remember if anyone had forced me to deal with those traumas. Learning to deal and live my life again was definately my own choice. Hell, I had enough offers of meds (from doctors) to keep myself doped for life and never have to deal with anything. But I made my choices and had a lot of help from the folks here.
Anthony, Cactus Jack, veiled, Midnight-I agree with all y'all that dealing with this shit is hard work and it really sucks to go through. But it does work if you can just get out of your own way and do it. Funny thing was that no one lied to me and told me it was easy and pain-free. I got the same warnings from many and knew what I was getting myself into. I didn't realize that only a few of us got that particular warning. Gee...I feel so special!
Sorry for the sarcasm...my stupid-shit-o-meter pegs out pretty low these days and it doesn't take much stupidity to get it going.

OK, not all of America is full of pussies, lets not over generalize now. I would say is it full of pussies and dicks. LOL

Actually Monach I'm going to add that it's not just a local event. IMO it's part of the human condition. As part of my job, I communicate with people from all over the world. Trust me...being an asshole (or a pussy or dick) is a world wide phenomenon. Unfortunately, those folks tend to stand out in our memories a lot more than the folks that are decent and helpful. If someone is shitty to you, who do you tell? Everyone you flipping know. If someone is helpful or kind, how many do you tell about it? Maybe one or two. Just seems to be the nature of the human beast.
Anthony...sorry you had to be put into the position of being the hard ass once again. What folks seems to forget is that we're playing on your playground and the rules are posted for all to read. Don't like them...pick up your toys and find another playground.
