Hi Robin,
I'm not real good at towing the line sometimes too, but something tells me that in your situation it gets a little more complicated when you don't.

AG,
I know Robin appreciates your reply to her, she is rather upset about other things and notready to respond. We are working on an interesting issue... if we (or one of us) has a plan we want to go gung-ho with it, but others around us want to put the brakes on. Often our plans aren't, shall i say, conventional.

With the traumas we experienced, our 'plans' had to be put into action asap without thinking through things. we move from 'good plan = go ahead' into 'good plan + wait on it = bad plan'.

i hope this makes sense!

we just hit a major 'good plan + wait on it = bad plan' ... a plan robin had and was excited about.

Antoni,
Thanks for letting me know, but just to reassure you I wasn't upset at all. I definitely understand not being ready to talk about something. And I meant what I said about it being more complicated for all of you. I get torn between wanting to be supportive but also knowing that you're dealing with issues I don't understand. I hate to blunder in and make it worse. So know that I have the best of intentions but am always willing to be educated. I can only imagine how much pain you deal with due to people misunderstanding and I don't want to add to that.

And I get the waiting on it being hard. Mine isn't for the same reasons; my dad would more often than not break his promises so when something was planned you had to move on it RIGHT AWAY or risk not having it happen. Not nearly as threatening as your experience but I get the "if I don't do it now, it's not happening."

I really appreciate your openess in explaining things to me.

I didn't think you were upset. I'm just a rather blunt person at times! We appreciate all the support we get here, whether or not you 'get it' is not important always.

Antoni

Antoni,
I like blunt people, much easier to know where you stand.
