One never knows when another may begin the change needed. I have
done what I can, and will let time tell the rest. I have learned,
the hard way, not to invest too much of myself 'saving' other
people. I share my story(ies) and what worked for me. Where I am
now, is miles from where I was 12 years ago. It took 12 years to
get here, but I am here. I can only act as a guide to those
willing to accept guidance. No more need be said. Or rather, I
will say no more.

what are you talking to HIM for? I have already admitted to needing
to change, Paul is in denial and clearly abusive calling me looney
lorain on here all the time yet insisting that he is doing nothing
wrong, don't talk to him about how hard you have it convincing me
that I need to change. That ruins your credibility. Otherwise, I do
take your words to heart and appreciate your efforts to help me and
my son, and I love your .sig lines, they are funny.

OK, first off, I am free to talk to whomever I choose. Whether you
like it or not, whether my son likes it or not, whether my mother
likes it or not. It's called free choice, and it's a God given gift.
Secondly, I am simply letting these folks know, that while they
disagree with me on whether or not you will change, I (being
relatively new here) am going to try. They are trying to dissuade
me, by telling me I am wasting my time. I am telling him (Paul) in
essence, it's my time, I choose how to spend it. If you find it
ruins my credibility, then I wasn't very credible in your eyes to
begin with. Sometimes things happen that you don't like, that don't
affect you directly, that aren't aimed at you, and you don't like
them. Get over it, move on, don't let it bother you. If I got upset
everytime on of my co-workers I respected spoke to one of my
co-workers I didn't like, I would spend my entired work day upset.
It's not worth it.

Since you are relatively new perhaps you are not as aware as the rest of us
that Paul Fritz has been harassing me for years now so of course I take
offense that you would dignify him by talking to him as if he had integrity.
If people hadn't welcomed him when he followed me over here from
alt.child-support where he originated his campaign of hate against me he
wouldn't still be here, calling me looney lorain and mocking my feminist
ideals day in and day out. He rarely talks about his children as clearly
that is not his main purpose here. Most of his posts are directed at me. I
wasn't trying to control you so chill out. If he called you names and made
fun of you all the time, I wouldn't talk to him like he was normal so I
don't understand it when you talk to him like nothing is wrong.
