[QUOTE="EthelCat, post: 766031, member: 30027"] This website has saved my life and informed my choices. Please, please keep it going. If it ceases, will it be available to look at and read and scroll through anyway? Or will it simply disappear? It is the only place I have ever found in tne trauma of my children, now 18 and 22, and still problematic, that helps, where other parents have dealt with issues so difficult, violent, and sometimes repugnant, where it feels safe to share. I have not posted at all or much. The 3 page manifesto of boy satire, has been one lifesaver. I LOVE getting emails that there are new posts. In short, because of the wisdom I’ve learned on this site, I moved. Sold my house, found a place to live with a middle aged roommate, like me. The kicker is, I’ve told no one my address. My kids don’t know where I live. My mother doesn’t know where I live. (They live with her and now the shitshow is there, to some degree). I feel safe. Like I’m not scared at night to go to sleep. Each kid has been violent or threatening to me at different points. My son bc mental ill was associated with THC vape/pot use, leading to schizo affective disorder, 3 5150s, and a ransacking of my house, and my daughter for bringing disrespectful friends over , one of whom plotted with her to kill me. Could have been angry teen talk. But who knows? I was t going to find out. There have been police calls, running away, scary nights. This site gave me the courage to put severe boundaries up. Most people don’t understand boundaries toward one’s kids. But here they do. I’m tired of being judged by the glossy, shiny, ordinary problems of the well heeled, college bound kids community I’m in. I don’t know what it takes to keep a site or message board like this going, or who owns it. It’s so valuable to me. And clearly to many others. There is no community like this I have ever found. Please, please keep it up. Or keep it as at least available to read or reread. -Ethel [/QUOTE]
