My primary purpose in founding this messagebaord was and remains to create a place where those who have been abused, or are stressed, or have other challnges may come without fear and consider how best tostart to unburden themselves

When we answer such a person, almost always the last thing they wish for is to be instructed in what they "must do now". Usually they were abused in that manner. "Now, you must...... Or....." Do you see what I mean?

A suggestion, a set of choices that they may ignore after reading, that is valid. PLease, most of us know this by instinct. Please can we think first, just a little longer, and see what the person who needs help truly needs inside themselves.

We cannot know where another person stands until we have walked a mile in his moccasins. So let us learn to learn
