Lillie, this is uncalled for.

"You are trying to control him "
"you believe you know what's best "
"one-tenth of the intensity you're showing here"
"Because if you can see the future so clearly "
"Surprise him: don't bust his balls for once "

Your words were offensive, personal and insulting. To then take a stand equivalent to "neener, neener and you can't stop me" when someone has asked you to back out of their thread, adds even more negativity to the mix.

Corri doesn't have to guess what the job will demand in the future, she has seen what it is demanding already. She doesn't have to guess what it will do to their marital relationship, she's already been living that for several months. She doesn't have to figure out how it will impact the children, she has taken the calls from the kids when dad's not there when he said he would be.

Expressing concerns about unilateral decisions, about tossing away plans made together, about how the family has been impacted is not ball-busting control.

And finally, I assume that most of us have at times, posted on here while we were emotionally vulnerable. Or angry. Or fearful. Or stressed. We can put on brave faces and joke, but there's a lot of pain on this little forum.

I think we should do our damndest not to intentionally add to it.
