I’m glad this support forum is actually supportive.

Yes, most online "support" groups can get mean and nasty. Something in me has an instinctual feeling to rebel against cultish beliefs. I hate when one person peeps out a mild disagreement, 20 people attack that person - and s/he never returns. That is not "support" it's authoritarianism and that type of system fails sooner or later. The gentler minority is winnowed out, and that's a sad thing.
