I am sorry you had to have your post deleted because adult women couldn't be adults and had to act like children and bullies. I do not understand if somebody dislikes another poster it is a personal choice on their actions from that point on. They can IGNORE the poster when they see something posted and trot right on by..why the need to be mean and nasty is beyond me. I have said this many times here it is not the topic but who posts it. I have seen that for myself many times.

I am sorry I missed it (whatever it was that happened to your family I am truly sorry...) as any issue or topic with Mental Health I am interested in..30+ years in the field in all avenues I truly find it interesting and advocate at every turn..and the one thing if I could so away with..the stigma.  If somebody says they have heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes - no thought is given..you say mental illness and all bets are off..the comments are so wrong.

We wonder why the youth of today are such bullies? All you have to do is read some anonymous posts on the internet and have your answer..they are the ones guiding and raising our future generations to be bigotes, hateful and bullies to boot..sad but true.

@CouponQueen...in this particular incidence there was no bullying. In fact, the topic discussed was raw and a summation of a young woman's torturous situation that probably would have been best discussed on a closed forum. Personal information that had the potential to harm the victim, it went beyond the usual here.

I think in this incidence Ford was wise to ask it to be removed. I also think that when a lot of the participants here read the thread they were equally alarmed for Ford's family's privacy.

CouponQueen...You are so right, I stand behind you 100% on every word you wrote here.

@Lindsays Grandma

I also agree.  I would add that sometimes these individuals don't even know why they dislike someone.  I've heard people say things like "I don't know why, but I just can't stand [whomever]," or "there's just something about [him/her] that I hate."

I have disliked certain people in my life, but I usually know why.  I am also easy to fool, a trait I don't like about myself.  I usually have to find out the hard way.  However, that has made me strong in my later life (50s and beyond).

@Lindsays Grandma

It was Ford 1224 (the 1224 having been my dear mother's birthday).  But just plain "Ford" is fine with me.

I didn't see it but I will always be supportive of @LilacTree.

@I've analyzed it and I will never understand why there are certain ones who go after certain posters. I so appreciate @LilacTree because of her honesty and willingness to be so vulnerable. That's why I respect her so much and am so fond of her. I would love to be open and honest here but there are those who won't allow it. So I can't. And I'm mostly sad for those who want to open up here but they can't either.

What a kind post Teddie.  Thank you.  ~Ford

@LilacTree  I'm sorry your niece had to go through what she did, and I'm sorry you're suffering because of it.

@mistriTsquirrel

Thank you Mistri, but I should have known better than to post that here.  Fortunately, the mods deleted it quickly.  The first three or four posts were from my "fans," who must have a siren set up to go off whenever I post.

---

I have no idea about your post.

However, I know exactly what you mean about sirens going off.

Some years ago, I had a similar experience.  There was what I called an "attack gang" that would trash just about any post I made.  Same group of posters.  I don't know how they did it.  But then I learned about the "ignore" feature.  Too bad they didn't include it now.

What you're saying is true!

@LilacTree  I read your post before you had it deleted.  I am so sorry that this has happened to your Grandneice and family.

I know this won't make it better, but this sort of thing is happening everywhere to many young adult and older teens.  There is an epidemic in our country that is like a run away train.

i don't know the answer to making things better.  All we can do is forgive and pray for a better future.

@Carmie

Yes, it is a tragedy.  It is not rare.

[Lindsays Grandma]

I stand corrected, the mistake was noticed after it was sent, too late to change it.  For some reason I honestly thought it was 1234.  I often use my mother's birthday for certain things, as well as my father's.  I  miss them so much and using their birthday's keeps them close...I'm sure you know what I mean.

I am so sorry, hyacinth.  Sometimes I wonder if they don't belong here . . . or we don't.  However, with the post in question, I did go over the line and realized it right away and asked for it to be deleted as soon as possible.
