Pseudo intimacy and being the "good girl"

[Poppyseed]

It is okay, Authentic.  It really is.  I think I understand your reasoning better after reading some of your above feelings.  We can agree to disagree about how one should seek redress for our grievances.  It is all fine from my side.  I don't want you to think I am not hearing you or that your hurt feelings are not important.  I don't think there is anything wrong with saying "OUCH!"   This board and the bigger picture is where my statements were directed-- the "how" not the "what" of the redress.   I hope you can see that. 

All my love and my extended hand of peace,
Poppy
