I think I owe an apology to everyone on this thread. This is a great source to learn about the human experience. I light up when I see students posting. As we have seen there are many sources that reference mental health issues for those incarcerated & those who aren't. AS frustrating as the thread can be it gives a voice for debate. It would be a great thing if we had a designated thread with all the possible diagnosis as reported by the many experts we have heard from, including some of our own posts. This would give a newbie a chance to learn, share, ask quetions. WE have many experts quoted from in our earlier threads up to now. It would be interestimg to compare opinions from the beginning till now to see if they may have changed as the case moves forward. The family frustrates me so much, that I let them get to me and forgot all about being kind & understanding. After I posted my comment I thoght yes there is always that back button & why don't I just move on to another subject. DIDiDi!!! "My brain made me do it" is my only defense.
Oh, Karen, don't apologize! I hope my comment didn't come across as passive-aggressive or b*tchy -- that wasn't my intention. I really do understand that it gets old to read the same old stuff over and over again, and to see the same questions posed repeatedly. Of course it's natural to get all *eyeroll* eventually, especially if one has been a member of a particular online community for a long time. I'm pretty new to Websleuths as a poster, but I'm a long time reader, and I've been an active member of various other communities and forums for many years. I've just had so many experiences where I've learned so much from others who have similar interests as I do and I so value the conversations and dialogues I've had with people over the years. I remember when I was relatively new online, and my daughter was a newborn, I joined an e-mail discussion list for attachment parentsing, and on my very first post, I was :furious:flame broiled:furious: by some oldbie member with five kids for having some questions, to which the answers were obvious to her, but were not obvious to me as a new mother to a five-day-old little girl! That experience really affected me, so I get a little Mother Bear-ish sometimes in regards to free discussion, etc. Almost twelve years later, I'm still on that mailing list! We're all n00bs at some point!
Anyhow, please know my intention was not to chastise or be bossy -- please accept my apology if I came across as brusque. :cheerful:
Hahaha, OMG, check it out -- a beating the dead horse smilie!
