For what it is worth, I felt little put down by TofuEmmy's post. I felt really good replying to fallsfall, but TofuEmmy was little too harsh.
I agree I was not sensitive to Daisy in my initial post and I was projecting my own fears and it was not the right thing to do,( and I am sorry for that Daisy). But I was really not trying to put her down or her therapist. I really honestly think extremely high of Daisy's therapist and Daisy. Maybe you can understand it as something like "Oh he is so extremely good and nice, what if he slips even once, and how will you be affected". That was my intention. I didn't mean that he slipped before or now.. It was only a projection into the future, and speculative worry - just like we do worry for a great performer - what if he doesn't perform well in the stage kind of thing.
Even though I didn't mean it the way it came across, I realized it hurt Daisy and I apologized. But I felt TofuEmmy could have worded it better herself - more along how Dr. Bob had said.. She could have said something like - "I read your reply to Fallsfall post, but I think you don't realize how hurt Daisy is by your post. I would appreciate it if you understand how upset she is and apologize more".
Two hurts doesn't make something right.
