I think that Chicki specified in her initial post that she was VENTING. Has nothing to do with her maturity on a larger scale. She herself said that she has been quiet through this whole thing.

Also, you can look around the boards and see that we ALL from time to time, have let loose and displayed our feelings...borne from pain. Not just being mean and bitchy.

Chicki, I did the same thing in February. Ranted for HOURS. I do not regret it at all...maybe the things I said, but not doing it.

I think that MLCers live in a fantasy land, and every once in a while it's good for US to be human, and for THEM to see that not everyone fits into fantasy land. That not everyone buys into their sense of "normal" at the moment. After a while, it feels that you are betraying yourself.

Again, I think that the added pain in our situations, Happy, comes from dealing with a PA, which was not present in your case.
