MLC or not - know your rights, protect yourself II

[AJM]

Hey GM, thanks for your response:

AJM, it's interesting that you cheer posters on when they are writing about positive steps they take, but feel the need to counsel when negative feelings are shared. I don't need to be called out or redirected. I need encouragement. The feelings I have are normal. I'm not "shackled" by them, but I do have them from time to time and it's ok. Why is that such a problem for you? Regarding acknowledgement from xh, I didn't have expectations, but it's reasonable to be disappointed in someone who falls short.

No GM, it's more than OK to have less than happy feelings. We all do. In fact, we have a range of emotions and I firmly believe we should. But in this case, how is it that you can have no expectations and judge that he fell short at the same time? If you don't want the feedback, I'm happy to leave it out. Just say the word.

Your posts seem to be a lot of projection. Have you ever wondered why you have such a need to point out how crazy and angry your xw is and how you boast about how happy you are? Maybe you haven't changed as much as you think you have. It's something to think about if you're really trying to be your best self.

I appreciate that feedback, GM. I don't wonder. I point it out as a way to let others know that they are not alone in what they see and feel and that they can also be happy while experiencing the interactions I do.

If my posting that information is not having the intended effect, then I am more than happy to stop posting it. Your thoughts are very much appreciate in the matter, GM.

And as always, if you don't find my posts to you helpful in any way, let me know. I am only too happy (or angry if you prefer a different emotion) to stop posting on your thread. But you should know that I firmly believe that hollow encouragement is worse than somebody helping me see something I may not have.

Cheers,
AJ
