Friends, Squatters and Lurkers--Life in a fishbowl

[sage]

I can only answer for myself here. If I were the person who was going to be interrogated (read: forced to hear about the fears from another person's perspective), I would wish for one simple thing.

For him/her to express themselves calmly and directly--using words that demonstrated caring but showed vulnerability. I think this is what Trish and everyone else was trying to tell me all along...

OK...I think your response has made it very clear that I missed some fundamental post along the way...I'm super sorry to have added churn here! (MUST read more carefully!). I think I jumped in when you were posting about Mr. W's response to your MF and I read into THAT without getting it from the beginning.

Now I'm remembering why I rarely post on these "very active, very long post, very engaging" threads.

Carry on
