I can not see any reason to ban RCR. She had some great insight, was a big DB success, and gave me great hope in my sitch. Isn't that what we want to see, success stories from people who have DBed and made it? People who did save their marriage? What gives?
I do believe there is a difference between people's stories and MLC resources. I think the stories are legitimate. But I think when an amateur puts themselves as as an expert, then there is a problem. Having said that I do think stories and they are all over the place.
Now you speak of those who have been in the trenches. I actually sought both professionals and those who had been in the trenches. I sought people who had gone through what I wen through and lived to tell the story. But I also sought professionals (Michele Weiner Davis falls into this category, are you suggesting she should be ignored?)who were trained and who had seen all sides of the picture.
