This is also a place of safety for me.
Ever notice there are always people in real life and in public--whether here at PC, especially PC or elsewhere--that do not like to see the healing of anyone. I do not say healed for a reason, and most of you know what I mean by that; our healing continues, perhaps in stops and stops but we do inch forward.
No destination, no arrival. We enjoy some of the scenery along the way, other scenery makes us cringe momentarily but it can be a catalyst for movement.

As always, it's just my opinion
and it's valid
I respect yours, you respect mine. Opinions differ but they do not separate us...it gives us a way to bring together what we need for ourselves, discard what does not work, develop and nurture what does benefit us.

...my being a target may deflect it from someone else doing the best they can, needing support not criticism, me included.

It saddens me that some folks get their jollies by doing this to anyone...
