This is a brand new thread and I would like to see posters getting along or should I say agree, but disagree w/thoughts, advice, etc., without the name calling and insults being flung out there for all to read.
By requesting that certain posters not post on your thread, you are hindering your process of understanding and healing as well as the viewpoints being available for others to read. Those viewpoints may be just what someone else needs to read to better understand what is going on in their particular situation. As I've said before, take from the postings what you can use and toss the rest aside. Yes, we can be very direct and sometimes that is what we need to make us open our eyes to what our situations look like on the other side. Sometimes the advice and/or comments strike a nerve, but maybe the advice/comments actually hit home on what we need to work on.
I want to close this posting on this note: In order to get respect, we have to earn it and we have to give respect to others. Sometimes we have to be the bigger person and apologize even though we may not think we need to do so. Respect is a two way street.
