Sherman, I checked out another forum today and a poster had some red flags going up which involved possible abuse. It was suggested to this poster that they look up domestic violence - cycle of abuse.
We may see the red flags more clearly for many of the posters because we aren't close to their respective situations and we can suggest that they do some internet searching of certain subjects, or at least point them in the right direction, but to actually post links, I'm not sure we will be allowed to do this. Again, it's something that will need to be run by the powers to be, as many of us, along the way, have posted links before and have had our hands smacked for doing so. We'll see how this unfolds in the next day or so. I'm sure we'll have some answers soon.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
