Takeshi. I am here for I think the same reason as I attend a support group. I have an opportunity, to feel some normalcy within a broader family.

I post because I need to not only participate but voice my opinion. If I can help someone to reflect on or improve upon their own issues then I feel I have accomplished something. It is for the same reason I take turns moderating my support group. It allows me to not only participate but have a greater imput and impact upon my group.

It is about being 'present' and being part of something.
