Title: Need to express my sadness
Post by: Violet on February 27, 2008, 07:26:54 PM

This thread scares me because I am afraid I may dredge up some ill will, bad feelings, or start some controversy.  So why start this thread, you ask?  Here's why.  Something has made me sad, things I do not and will not be able (nor do I need to) understand.  I am not trying to understand.  I am trying to express how I am feeling about what has happened.  Because my initial reaction was to NOT POST, to avoid hurting feelings and avoid starting up more controversy (this is my usual pattern of fear of expressing myself and taking personal responsibility for the feelings and behaviors of others).

That is why I am trying to get up the courage to voice these feelings.  So here goes:

I am feeling sad about all the people who have felt they had to leave the board lately.  I am sad and feeling loss.  I am feeling like I am missing the voices of people I barely got to know. I know this is a reality, I am not looking for any answers or explanations, I am just wanting and needing to say, "I am sad."

Okay, I said it.  Please, please do not infer anything other than what I have stated.  (Trying to stop hyperventilating....)   V

You are so sweet,Violet.
 My Goodness, it is hard to see people go, if you like them . I was sad to see Laura go. Dr G is the ultimate authority ,as he has so graciously given us the board. We can't always know the whys and wherefores of everything,IMO.
  I am enjoying the people whom I like here, and that is most of them.
  It is very good that you expressed yourself,Violet. You are finding your voice and that is what is the most important thing.    Love    Ami

:handing paper bag to V::

So sorry you're feeling distress.

Things should calm down for a while and maybe a few will come back soon.

So glad you took the courage to express you thoughts.  Your thoughts are welcome.  Let's talk about EFT sometime.  The forum on EMOFREE works like this - post and a day later the moderator decides if she will let it on the board or not.  Not much of a diaglue there.
