My view on this is that we all need to hear the truth in whatever form it may take. When I first started posting on this forum, one of the veterans confronted some BS I was spouting off about and really challenged my thinking.
My initial reaction was one of offense and insult. However, I soon learned after reading other posts on this forum that this was not intended to inflict harm but to get me to think and own up to the reality of my situation and start working on me and my M.
I truly believe that however long it takes us to find this forum and the DB method for saving our M's, the sooner we start to take decisive action the better. Some of us are fortune to find this forum almost immediately after the "bomb" while others arrive here months after the "bomb" when time is of the essence.
If we pussyfoot around, precious time is wasted, crucial mistakes are made and more damage is done that has the potential to solidify an already bad situation.
So for me, I licked my wounds, sucked it up and continued to post and things have gotten remarkably better. I get good advice and a variety of opinions that give me things and options to consider. All in all, I like what I'm hearing.
