Most of us agreed that FOO was something to be handled with care - or run from as fast as you can!<br /><br />If I look at my family's problems as a pastoral care issue then I can take a step back & remove some of the emotion. Of course, that's my personality anyway (unless I'm mad, then I throw reason out the window). <br /><br />I'm glad you're finding your way back from your FOO!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937122622489509841.post-57580297009660106532010-05-07T15:07:59.127-07:002010-05-07T15:07:59.127-07:00Don't let anyone stop you from writing if that...Don't let anyone stop you from writing if that's what you want to do! I don't tell people I have a blog. I change the names of people and places, but I don't really write anonymously, so someone could stumble upon it, but at least I feel I can write whatever I want without feeling stupid or inhibited by what they think they "know" about me.Aunt Juiceboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312942310632639442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937122622489509841.post-43948326915223228712010-05-07T13:10:31.331-07:002010-05-07T13:10:31.331-07:00I congratulate you for staying out of the cave...

As NanU said, sometimes the best thing you can do is distance yourself from toxic people. <br /><br />As I was trying to compose a suitably profound comment to your wonderful post, I glanced up at the sentence above the comment box...<i>"You can do this...I know you can. Think of something brilliant and witty. No pressure."</i> I'd offer the same back to you as you resume your blogging :-)Kathy Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593849691667606991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937122622489509841.post-6764845540615493202010-05-07T03:14:09.074-07:002010-05-07T03:14:09.074-07:00Well, I'm glad you're back.

And we're very glad to have you, too. Er, most of us, the ones who aren't trolling for ammo.<br />Sometimes getting away from family, cutting ties and not looking back, is all one can do. We're programmed not to see it that way, but it's true. I wish you all the best!NanUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596765792663269178noreply@blogger.com
