AuntieMel and Shadowplayers,
Thank you for asking me to comment on a thread here. I thought about it and I think that it could "kick up dust" and might not be the most effective way to deal with the issues you're raising. I think when we talk generally about what to do when this or that happens it's less personal, but if I were to comment directly on a thread or the dynamics I saw, it might feel personal and possibly hurtful to some and I want to avoid that.
It sounds like some good thoughts and suggestions are coming out of these discussions. People are exploring different ways they can: respond or not respond to a post; support someone who may need support; identify and state their needs; coach someone; think about how they could have handled the situation differently and I think all of those things will help a whole lot more than if I comment on past threads.
Often times, trying new approaches to old problems brings results and things change.
Hope that feels okay to you two. :)
Kali
