How does this help educate DCUM posters looking to learn information?

I don't need to tell my side to Jeff. Everything he needs to know, can be read in OP's posts. Poor OP. So misunderstood.

Then why are you on this thread? (Again, I am not OP and I never even read the other thread. I just hate seeing mean posters like you bully someone for having different views than yours. You are a bully.)

I'm posting about this thread, in which you beautifully verified the OP's allegation that you follow her around discrediting and attacking her. Nice job. Ta-ta.

I agree. OP is tenacious in defending herself, but in the original thread three or four people in a row attacked her post with no regard for tact. There was nothing in her original post that called for it, it was a perfectly nice post, but she's been defending herself ever since. Mob mentality is very strong on this board and that's mainly what's happening now.

OP here. I'm not whining because you disagreed with me. In fact, I actually appreciate that you express your disagreements because that gives me opportunities to clarify and prove Greenspans positions are correct. I always enjoy a good debate too.

But as I said, leave my five year old child and my family out of this discussion, stop dragging my old posts from months ago on other subjects and copying them here to discredit me, put aside your name-calling. That's dirty fighting. Stay intelligent.

Where are you getting this from? People who can be really mean to other folks and then walk away without feeling any remorse are desensitized. They're numb to the feelings of other folks. That's that being sane. That's becoming hardened. It happens more in urban areas, in poverty-stricken areas, in areas of high crime, any place where environmental or situational factors are known to stress people. It's not healthy.

OP, it doesn't matter what you post on this board. DCUM is a snake pit. You could post a story about fingerpainting with your kid or saving someone's life, and some angry psycho mom will find a way to rip you to shreds over just about anything.

Whether I dip into my 401K to help my kid is my business. I have a few degrees and can always get some kind of work to replenish that account. But for now, my child needs help and there is no person in a better position to help him than me with my 401K account. This is what I advise to parents with kids with issues. If you think this is stupid advice, no skin off my nose. There's nothing more I can say to you.

My hat's off to you. Money pales compared to our children, IMO. I would rather face retirement broke than experience it with my nest egg intact knowing I had kept that money for my own needs while letting the needs of my DC go unmet.

Me too. Money is nothing compared to the needs of my children.

DCUM has become a sad and angry place for anonymous women to vent while they are at work, far away from their children and families. It is not a place where parents give ANYTHING up for their children.

True. The fact that these guys created their own forum to supposedly get away from me but didn't stay there and came right back to that original contentious forum to take more whacks at me is proof that they want to fight dirty. Becauset there's not much action on that new forum they created.

OP- you don't want to discuss. You don't want to be useful. You want to debate, and imply that parents are not doing the best unless they are doing it your way. Did you notice the turn the thread took when someone was helpful, opened minded, instead of writing bizarre posts? I am glad you have left.

I never intend to "leave" any thread that could potentially be a resource for parents of special needs kids and where I have an ounce of knowledge to contribute.

You're up a two in the morning continuing to argue with people you feel are beneath you-you're way past looking to help SN children and deep into the 'Don't Know When To Let Go" pit. Again, I don't know what you are going through in terms of having a SN child but it is seeping into unrelated areas in your life. Talk to somebody real and forget about a bunch of strangers on DCUM. I'm starting to get really worried about you.

wait, wait -- are you writing us today from RURAL SOUTH DAKOTA?? or perhaps you are one of the many Duggars?

Yeah, women in the the District of Columbia, for which this website is named, perhaps you noticed, do work at jobs to which their children are not invited. Amazing.

Oh my God, you really are ridiculous. Go back and check to see if you can view that old thread I posted on that you linked to the current spec needs thread. It's been blocked from viewing. Probably because somebody recognized that that was completely irrelevant, if not an underhanded thing to do.

The thread has not changed. Somebody who was polite and intelligent actually took your side and you're cheering like mad for that, that's all. It's opposite views that you can't seem to tolerate.
