Settings, sorry and seniors

May 15, 2001

I changed the settings on both the nonBP groups and the WTO groups to

discussion per the desires of many members. In other words, you can converse

on both of them or either of them. As we grow, I envision that both sets will

be necessary--especially when the SWOE workbook comes out. Whether you decide

to all move to one or the other or just cross-post, I am sorry for the

inconvenience.

To those who felt emotionally discombobulated, I especially apologize. When

you live with someone with BPD, you want something consistent and comforting.

WTO will always be open, and I will always do my best to make you feel at

home.

I do believe that something very good came out of this, though. I felt good

about people offering to help moderate and assume some responsibility for

their list. As long as we all adhere to the guidelines and maintain a

positive tone, there will be consistency no matter who moderates. I like the

paradigm of Nons empowering other Nons; perhaps it builds confidence and

trust.

In closing, thanks so much to all the people who thanked me for being a

resource and helping them. I will be printing their letters out for my next

job interview (just kidding)! It is very nice to have support, and I will

answer you individually as fast as I can with a deadline approaching.

A friend of mine who runs a nursing home believes that elders living in

senior housing need more than care--they need to care for someone. And the

people who take care of the elders need their own support system. Again, I

thank you and apologize.

Change of subject. If you are interested in giving me feedback on SWOE

workbook exercises, please send your name to me at Swoeworkbook@.... So

far the feedback has been very helpful.
