Re: Helpful?

You just said exactly what I wanted to say but did not know how. I don't know how you did that.

I had an immature response to someone here that doubted my motives in spite of a sincere appeal to (him). It hurt my feelings (poor baby) but I recovered and found that much of what he criticized me for was true. It took that encounter to see it.

What I learned is what you just said re: Support group vs. therapy group, just like Baldur was saying, "what one thinks a support group is and what a support group does". I was confused about what I thought a support group should be, too idealistic, unrealistic.

So, if that could happen to a war veteran like me, it could happen to a 17 year old. He might not recover as quickly. Thus my opinion that the age limit rule should be enforced as explained to KBA.

So what that means is, so far, I am getting everything I signed up for, and now a little bit more. I'm happy about being here.
