There is nothing in this old world that can embarrass me more than other human beings. A human in an organized society that ignores social norms, is a problem to me. My initial attraction to this site was the honesty and heart felt words of comfort and understanding I felt from its members. I could tell my story, without reliving the horrors, and still be understood because my peers had lived it too. I didn’t need to give details and I didn’t need to grovel in the sickness again. Many years of therapy had taught me that the first step to healing is to work on closing the doors to the insanity that haunted me. Closing those doors, not spreading them open & keeping them open for the world to gawk at, and me to relive. There was no need for me to give the gory details and no one here that thought they would be beneficial to hear. Why would they? You can tell someone that you saw an accident and there were fatalities. I can’t think of too many adults who would rather hear, and she had her head hanging on by a thread, and there was a leg on the highway, and the baby was covered with blood and, and, and. Sometimes details clutter a story and distract from the serious nature of the tale. A long time ago when I came here, it was about loving and caring about a soul in misery, no matter what the reason. Back then, there would be a discussion opened, an introduction and explanation of the problem and then the questions that the author of the discussion would ask. That long time ago was 4 months. This group has changed immeasurably since then. Or, maybe I’ve changed. No matter really, the reason I started this discussion is to explain my departure from this particular group. Most of you are my friends and I hope that continues. But I don’t feel comfortable here anymore. The rules have changed too much for this old gal. I felt free to ask questions before, I am now told that by doing that I am attacking and criticizing. When I say something, it is interpreted as something else. .” If someone here needs to get their story out of their head they are free to post here. That is what this site is for, we don't need to reply to it, other than being supportive and say I'm sorry that happened to you.” My views are not the same as these I am afraid. I had Brenda’s story in my head, but was not free to post here even though that is what this site is for. I thought an open public forum was exactly about a variety of postings that expected replies and different suggestions on coping. I don’t think that being supportive is a kiss on the cheek and an I’m sorry, only. I wish each and every one of you the very best in healing on your own terms.

I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth!
Very funny Scotty; now beam down my clothes.
Here lies,
All cold and hard,
The last damn dog,
That pooped in my yard!
