Quote From: cjs777Mike,
I have just read your messaged and it really scared me. Are you people professionals. Are you taking it upon yourselfs to treat others. What if someone is taking your advise, instead of going to a professional, and kills themselfs I can read the excitement in you and other messages.
Be very, very careful in what you do.
is to provide information and support.
No fear-mongering, victim blaming or shaming. All tactics of abusers. Supporting the targeted individual and not enabling the abuser. There has been WAY too much of that here on these show boards.
Hotline phone numbers, lists of books and websites for the purpose of education and giving women (for the most part) a place to share their experiences. Not one of us who is interested in participating in such a forum would ever be so arrogant as to believe that we have all the answers nor would we suggest that a person not turn to the professionals for the guidance they might need. Those of us who are involved in the genesis of this board are survivors of or witnesses to abuse.
Your caution, sir, is misdirected as has been the greatest majority of your posts. I am sorry you have failed to understand.
peace
