Hi Jonny
I sincerely hope you will stay; over the years the numbers of those who actually post fluctuates but there are many, many more that are silently reading and looking for support. The Helpline is there for you to voice any criticism and the site welcomes critical emails rather than seeing a valued member walk away.
Early recovery is tough. Sensitivity is high. Members can say things that feel (and sometimes are), unnecessary – but if words are said that are not helpful and supportive I think they should be seen as ‘misunderstandings’ and not reason to walk away.
I hope you will post as ‘yourself’ because you are a unique and you have something to say. I never seek to offend but as a facilitator in F&F it must come with the territory for some CG. We are all equal, as Monica has so rightly written but we are all human and to err is human.
