[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 752955, member: 23405"] I feel like for myself, I come to this forum with my own scars, hurts, pains and insecurities. Let's face it most of us are here because we have been wounded and may possibly still be. For me, my heart has been wounded by my sons inability to thrive, function and to grab on to life because of their issues. I'm vulnerable from the hurt and sorrow I sustained over a thirty year marriage taken away by alcoholism. When we post, we lay our hearts open to possibly being hurt because unfortunately, just like texting, we don't hear the intonation in the persons voice, or see the compassion in their eyes or know the deep hurt that is in their hearts that may be weighing heavy on them that particular day they respond. We give our encouragement and support from wounded, vulnerable and first hand experiences. It's very raw but because of that same very reason it is so powerful and can be very healing. It can be scary to be vulnerable, but I think it's worth the risk. There is way more good to be gained than bad as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
