EF: You are not accepting PMs, so I am posting this here, although I wanted to PM it to you.

I read your post about not feeling welcomed here, and I'm sad that you feel like that I think you know that when I asked about the placement of your post, I was only asking about that, and not about YOU and whether you and your experiences belong here.

I think you also know that my therapist/minister in high school sexually abused me (as in had intercourse with me) and it affected my healing for years and years and years and was very hard to recover from, so I know first hand how damaging therapist abuse can be.

I've apologized publicly a few times, but I wanted to PM you to be SURE that you understand my point of view. I'm not sorry that I asked the question about the placement of the post, because my question wasn't intended even the TINIEST bit to say anything to or about you. I AM sorry that it felt personal to you.

I hope you can come to know soon that you ARE welcome here.
