[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP didn't overshare. One of the other women was talking about her child's mental health issues, and OP related some info about her own mental health when she was close in age to that woman's child. That's on topic and empathetic. OP was obviously trying to reassure that woman that this is something people go through, that it's ok.

Consider that when the other woman got all judgemental about OP's struggles, it probably didn't feel great for the woman whose child is now struggling, either.

The fact that people respond with a lot of discomfort and awkwardness, and that this one woman was very judgemental and shaming, indicates this group struggles with dealing with mental health as a subject, and are uncomfortable with certain kinds of vulnerability. That's not OP's fault.[/quote]

100% agree.  Obviously we don’t know all of the details of this group, but shaming anyone for past struggles is gross.  Especially since another woman was saying her child is currently struggling, so double yikes.

I very much want to believe that in a situation like that, I’d say *something* to come to OP’s rescue – evening I didn’t know her at all.
