The MLC resources are wonderful and the archives are very helpful.
When I was reading them, I found that starting with one poster and reading through their whole story helped. And one leads to another and so on…
Rereading them also helps on occasion. To find answers to questions you are asking here, to maybe glean something new from a post you have read four or five times.
I am not saying do nothing but read the archives, but definitely don’t just read them once. There is just too much information to absorb in one go over.
And as you grow and change, you may find that you respond differently or understand differently what you read compared to at the very beginning of this.
"Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. It means understanding that something is what it is and there's got to be a way through it."--Michael J. Fox
