I've Been Here Before!

Except THIS TIME !! :kudos:
Because MWO is truly an exceptional place and I don't think you'll find more support or guidance anywhere else. But of course, like anywhere where else, the forum is not immune to ills at large, so to speak. But by and large, the people here are just like you, Fantastik! (sorry couldn't resist
) and I'll bet some of them have pretty descent haircuts too!!
:h:l
So I assume you are referring to me as the ills at large then?
My original post to FH followed Allan who identified with FH's position, my response was that as a person also reared in a house where the father binged intermittently and my foster mother and I were abused, not physically, but emotionally.
I have seen it written often that alcoholism is a selfish disease, and it is! Even after my own childhood I have taken the alcoholic path, and though I believe that my own children suffered less, they still suffered and my drinking DID abuse them. My comments to FH were to incentivize not demoralize.
Secondly I noticed that FH's post was not getting the same lively support from others, partly due to the weekend lull and maybe due to the title. That is why I suggested he also post elsewhere. Why he took this as a criticism is hard for me to see, but what we write and how it is heard are often at odds.
I don't see this as an argument as Stumpy suggested (although I think they happen here often enough,as in the real world) just a misunderstanding. And sunflower's input was pretty pointless and negative (sounded like she wants to see me back here drunk!!!).
But if you think someone has been out of line with their comments would it not be better to tell them directly in pm rather than sideswipe them publicly?
Just a thought.
