I also didn't see you judging anyone, time0, or anyone attacking you or feeling attacked...

The truth is, hundreds of people visit our community everyday. Some choose to make it their home for a time, to get or give support, and others choose not to.

Some of those who do become members, well, we hope they find a way to share with others when they feel ready to do so. Some people might be here for days or even weeks before opening up even just a little. It's scary to do so, and you want to feel like if you do open up, someone isn't going to come down on you or misconstrue your post. After being hurt by others, it can be hard to take that first step (I think we all know what that feels like).

I do hope people see that most of the people here are caring, thoughtful and open people who come here to help others (and themselves).

Take care,
DocJohn
