I read this post. Your title peaked my interest.
I am very guilty of lurking a lot. At first I 'lurked' a lot on all of the forums. Just trying to build courage to type something. That is my way though, sit back and observe. Especially when I am in the mode to protect myself which is almost always...And through the holiday weekend I have been off line for a long time so I have been catching up, so to speak, on what has been posted. I have not posted much while reading...
I admire greatly the courage that people here have both in putting their truth out there and supporting others. Reading about other's experiences has been healing on many levels for me.
I appreciate your honesty in posting this post and what you said in it also. I can relate to not feeling like the depth of my experience is welcome by others.
