I've been there, done that, too. Fortunately, at my elder age, I have somehow learned that I can't call/write/email repeatedly when I have been hurt by someone's actions (or believe I have and blame the person). However, I still do sometimes react and post something online that's real frustrated. I did that on a political listserv I am on, and three people called me down for that. I did not apologize because I still feel like I had valid points, and I feel like the people in that group want 100% upbeat, positive actions and comments. Also, there are several people in the group who consider mental illness (which neither I nor anyone else in the group has 'fessed up to) a myth, and antidepressants a "government plot to keep us passive" [direct quote from one person.] This is just one more group which considers psychiatric services as 100% harmful not only to the person receiving the services, but to society as a whole. There's this woman who is suing somebody for "keeping her son from her." He's an adult in mental health treatment, and his team won't let her see him. This sounds familiar -- there were people at the [now extinct] drop in center I used to go to who were happy that their providers kept their parent/s away from them. I expressed the viewpoint that this political group should stick with its political mission (and mission statement) and stay out of family relationships. But the response I got from more than one member of the group was "But we know C___ and she's a good person." Balderdash. As my own sister, a wise woman, says, "You can NEVER really know what goes on in a family."
