The poster who wrote the words that are making you guys see the other side a little bit is AmyC.
Her posts are in the archives. They are also in the prayer circle forum.
All you would have to do is search her name.
Or spend some time in the archives making an effort to really learn about what you are dealing with.
Personally, I spent about 6 months there, not posting at all and barely reading the current situations at the time.
They helped me find empathy and compassion. They gave me a very good education regarding MLC, depression, and anger. They taught me how to define for me unconditional love, forgivness, and faith. They taught me so many more things than I can even begin to describe. And they were my savior in the darkest of times.
When I say They, I mean the people. Their stories, happy and sad. Anger and frustration. Tears and laughter. The posters, Butterflymom, Snodderly (now Job), Jack3beans, AmyC, Imlin, and too many others to name.
It's part of the work. Just do it.
"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
