AC I value your passionate defense of the OP. The OP is quite new here and is looking for support.
I do think it is important to be careful about how we all respond to other posters. Myself included. I don't get it right all the time like everyone else. It is hard to know what support someone is looking for or not looking for or needing or not needing.
I do think it is important to be kind. It is important to be gentle. It is important to be honest. Sometimes it is important to be more of one thing than something else.
But I think when a person is clearly feeling vulnerable because of triggers or new information or whatever it is probably not the best moment to question their experience or judgement or their t or whatever. Theres a time and a place you know?
If I was the OP I would have felt attacked and invalidated. I see the OP didn't which is good.
