I am so sorry I hurt your feelings and you felt I was being disrespectful to you because I was not. I will try to pacify your insecurities if I feel the need to post in your threads again.
Best of luck with your sister.

Okay, but obviously you werenīt "serious" with that remark, given the explanation for saying it, you give afterwards. So you were being ironic or sarcastic which can come across as unfriendly, just saying
If you had wanted to be polite, you could simply have said: "just because your therapist agrees, it doesnīt necessarily mean it is correct"
And I agree, it doesnīt necessarily mean that it is correct. Neither I nor my therapist can know with 100 percent what the real reason is for having that baby.
I donīt think itīs "rude" to have an opinion at all and I donīt think sheīs taking "sides" on this matter. Itīs not a matter of personal conflict.
You donīt know how much of the story she knows and I told her.
But she can say, what the situation sounds like to her, certainly.
Sheīs not just therapist for adults but sheīs a childtherapist too and she told me that a lot of babies get born, unfortunately, like this: with a job/task before theyīre even really on this world, which is to make mommy happy/keep her busy/give her a "sense" to live. She knows because a lot of children end up her patients. A lot of those moms lack something that is "just for them" in life, some donīt know what to do with their lives, so they have children instead.
I agree, supporting does not mean agreeing. And she doesnīt agree with me on all matters. But this is talk therapy and she is entitled to a "professional" and a "personal" opinion.
"I will try to pacify your insecurities if I feel the need to post in your threads again. " ..... sarcastic again? seriously......
And we all have insecurities, not just people struggling with PTSD.
You donīt need to "pacify my insecurities" just post in a respectful and polite manner and leave sarcasm out of it. thank you
