Default Runaway teenagers [very long reply]

I don't believe any of this. Either this is a troll, or you have SOOO many
problems that a newsgroup is not the place for you to find help. Get thee to a
therapist.
Keep the thread going if you like as it is a good sounding board for me and
others.


Yea, which makes me think my first inclination was correct. If so, shame on
you for making Cele go through her own trama again just to help you. If not,
go get some help now.

Joelle
my blood ran cold when I read what you wrote.
How dare you I am going thru things like this and as you can see other
parents like Cele have been thru similar traumas
i hope only that you never go thru traumas such as mine or Celes.
again all I can say is how dare you,
these types of replies remove the purpose of the support chat lines, that is
to be able to air your problems and look for solutions without prejudice or
ignorant people making comments like you have.
they are the types of comments that cause people to fall deeper into the
depths of despair and commit suicide if unstable.
shame

Chloe, you obviously haven't read the FAQ before you posted or you'd know that
your statements about this newsgroup are flat out wrong.

I tend to agree with Joelle on this issue, if you have as many issues as you
mentioned, a single parents newsgroup is not the help you need. You need
INTENSE therapy.

This is NOT a "feel good, support you stupidly just because you're a single
parent" group. This a group that freely speaks their minds although it's not
always what you want to hear, sometimes it's what you need.

Personally, I'd go elsewhere for the "feel good" BS.... I like the real world
common sense here.

Just my 2 cents.........

It was wrong to toss Chloe out like that. Perhaps, Chloe is receiving
help elsewhere, too. Nobody should judge who can post or not.



I didn't judge who could post, I simply said she obviously didn't read the FAQ
because then she would have known that "feel good" BS isn't to be expected
here. She's free to post anything she wants and we're free to respond with
honesty in our feelings. Again below is her expectation that she will receive
"feel good" support.

again all I can say is how dare you,
these types of replies remove the purpose of the support chat lines, that is
to be able to air your problems and look for solutions without prejudice or
ignorant people making comments like you have.

Seems pretty clear to me that she didn't read the FAQ or lurked for a bit to
see what the group is about. Nothing wrong with that, but then don't jump on
others when they tell you something you don't want to hear.


Just my 2 cents.........

Well I hope you never go through the traumas I have been through. You think
you are the only one who has suffered in the world?

ll I can say is how dare you


You asked, I gave you my perspective. Something about your story doesn't ring
true. I don't believe you are being truthful, either about all the trauma, or
your part in it. You refuse to take any responsiblity and blame it on some
boy. If your home was as happy as you say, no boy would have that kind of
power over your daughter.

urpose of the support chat lines, that is



This is not a chat line. This is usenet.

hat is
to be able to air your problems and look for solutions without prejudice or
ignorant people making comments


Hahaha, usenet is where lots of ignorant people make comments, which is where
this should be the last place you should be seeking help. If you are for real,
you probably dont' want to go to therapy because a therapist will make you face
your own responsibility in this.

Joelle

First let's be clear that I'm not jumping on any band wagons and certainly
not defending or ganging up on anyone here, okay?

My opinion is that if you truly feel this strongly about what someone you
don't know and will probably never meet has written in a public forum, which
is open to all and sundry to express whatever views they like, then maybe
this isn't the right medium for you to be using at this time.

To get the best out of a newsgroup, any newsgroup, you need the skin of a
rhino, the back of a duck and a super-sized filtering system that will allow
you to pick out only those things that are helpful to you.

How dare you I am going thru things like this and as you can see other
parents like Cele have been thru similar traumas


She only has what you have written to inform her opinions, as do we all.
IMHO whatever those opinions are they are perfectly valid, at least at some
level, even if they do not match those of others or what you would, perhaps,
have expected. Right, wrong or something else, we're all entitled to our
opinions and we're all entitled to express them here. I don't have a
problem with that myself as I often find opinions I'd rather not have heard
to be the most useful in the long run.

i hope only that you never go thru traumas such as mine or Celes.
again all I can say is how dare you,


Big assumption here, I think. Do you actually know for certain that Joelle
*hasn't* had experiences that have been equivalently traumatic for her?

these types of replies remove the purpose of the support chat lines, that

is
to be able to air your problems and look for solutions without prejudice

or
ignorant people making comments like you have.


As a point of information only, this newsgroup is not in any way moderated
or controlled so it's up to you to filter out posts you find unhelpful.

they are the types of comments that cause people to fall deeper into the
depths of despair and commit suicide if unstable.


My opinion, for what it's worth is that a public forum like a newsgroup
probably isn't the best place for someone who is that unstable to be seeking
help.

shame


In you opinion, of course. Other will do doubt choose to think differently.
That's the way of the world and this group is no different.

For myself I've leaned to take good advice from wherever it comes, always
assuming I recognise it as good of course. That's the tricky bit.

You have a hard road ahead but you've coped well in the past so I think
you'll be fine. I wish you luck though. A little good luck never hurt
anyone.
