Yes, unfortunately and I'm sorry to say, this is a support community, not a psychotherapy group. Nobody is in a position to teach skills here, conflict resolution or anything else. I'm sorry, but that's just not the point of a community like this.

If you would like to learn skills and find folks willing to teach them voluntarily, that's cool. But I get a sense you just don't like folks enforcing the rules here, and instead would like everything to be discussed first. Well, much discussion does take place, but it is my choice to hold that discussion in private. If you need to have that discussion in public, I'm sorry, but that's probably not going to happen in most cases.

There are many, many skills people can learn to better their lives. Conflict resolution is certainly one of them. But I can no more teach that here than I could teach communication skills, relaxation skills, relationship building skills, etc. While it's possible to teach such skills -- online or elsewhere -- that's not my, or anybody else's, purpose here or the purpose of this particular online community.

Again, I'm sorry that's not what you're looking for... and I do hope you find it.
