[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of people getting their consciences poked. Better double down with the vitriol and stamp on those who relate to ops kids. There are a few of you, so you can take comfort that you're all RIGHT and the rest of us are losers, just like your dumb kids. Can't wait till they're out of your hair, am I right?[/quote]

You need to stop projecting your own issues onto OP and other posters. It’s not healthy. [/quote]

DP. We don’t need to project anything on OP. Her own words show she is absolutely unwilling to try to understand her son’s perspective and cannot tolerate the fact that she might have done some things wrong that can’t be immediately swept under the rug. She’s willing to admit that there were some challenges, but not willing to allow that her son could have been affected by her actions, and not willing to engage in an emotionally mature discussion about the past. None of that is healthy. [/quote]

You are extreme and demanding. OP sounds hurt and troubled by her son's letter.[/quote]

So, what? Nothing I wrote indicated she’s wrong for feeling hurt and troubled. The question is how OP reacts to being hurt. Does she react defensively, refuse to believe anything could be wrong, refuse to listen, refuse to consider her own role? Or can she tolerate the pain and accept that her son has a different reality? So far OP seems to be firmly in the denial camp. [/quote]
