Yes, we are all here for support, and as with any support group, certain discussions will serve to trigger different members of the group ... We are not always going to agree or feel comfortable with opposing opinions or sides ... However, that doesn't make them any less valid (or deserving of an apology for that matter) ...

A child (or adult survivor) who has grown up in a violent, chaotic, alcoholic family is certainly going to view their experience totally different than the violent, chaotic alcoholics who've abused them, as well as the enablers who've allowed the abuses to go unaddressed ...

I will ask the moderators to review my comments and remove them if they feel they are inappropriate ... But, based on my life experiences, I see it the way I see it, and again, that doesn't make me or my feelings about it any less valid.

Sincerely,
Pfrog!
