OT: Just my opinion and feelings on what is happening. . .

I am going to post my opinion on this and it is not meant to offend, but give you all something to think about and truth is if you are offended, then look at yourself in the mirror and think on it harder. . . 

I have had my feelings hurt from time to time, felt as though I was ignored or my thoughts not well received, when necessary, I dealt with this in the form of a PM and left it that way, which to me is the adult way of dealing with it and in the spirit of acting the adult, that at almost 53, I hope I am, I have pushed past most of those feelings, realizing that everyone will not always like me or what I have to share, just as I may not like what they have to share, I recognize, everyone is not me and has not worked through a great deal of what I have, however,  I RESPECT EACH INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO SAY WHAT NEEDS SAYING as it pertains to their need.  I don't have to agree, nor do I have to respond if I don't agree.  However, the reason I am responding in the general forum now, is because I feel strongly a need to stand up and be heard as to my opinion which is. . .

I see it as childish, that people are coming on here and airing their dirty laundry in public.  If something is going on in the background between you and another party, then that's where it should stay, not be brought out, third party and aired in the public forum.  Let the background stuff be dealt with in that manner, if need be, block the people who are offending you so badly. 

I see nothing good coming of this, it is tearing apart what has been a wonderful place to come for support and that to me is a damn shame.  So stop it and act like the adults you all should be by this stage of life.  We are not in grade school, where we made our friends chose sides or we would not be friends with them. . .  I did not do it then, and I won't do it now!

I love and respect each and everyone of you, you all have something to bring to the table, none of us are perfection and for goodness sake, stop the public bickering party. . .

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . .  It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . .  Laureen

You are such a hypocrite.  You know you are one of the very ones treating Darlene so badly and one of the ones dragging me into this.  Shame on you!!!

Thank you Miss Laureen. I tend to like everyone and do not like choosing sides. This is my safe,warm place and has kept me in recovery.
I like people. I ask God to forgive me my transgressions,and to help me if I do that to someone. I know it is easy to hurt someone without knowing it.
I hope I have not ever offended you,if I have,I am sorry,

You dear Angel of mine, have never offended me, nor do I think you ever offended a soul on here!

Sending you warm cyber hugs, Laureen
