Barb,

If you think TJ will accept my email, please forward it to her; otherwise, it

can just be deleted.

TJ, I am sorry you felt I/we were attacking your parenting skills; as for

myself, I NEVER meant to do so! Parenting is a very, very hard thing to do, for

each and every one of us. Every child and every parent is different, and so

are the actions/reactions between them, which makes it almost impossible for

anyone to really give advice to another towards their children and parenting

skills. I was only suggesting what I would do, if I were in your situation. I

feel as though my email were one of the first sent, and so I feel responsible

for your leaving the group. I am sorry. I wish you could see the positive side

of this situation (many members sending you emails), which I believe to be

that we ALL CARE a great deal about each and every member, and try very hard to

help another. I truly believe that is really why you have received emails,

both on and off list. I really don't think anyone here was trying to attack you

or your parenting skills.

I'm sorry you felt it necessary to leave the list, but that has to be a

personal decision. I wish you well, and hope things improve for you at home. I

will continue to include you in my thoughts and prayers. I also hope, that

should you decide to return to the list, that you will be welcomed with open

arms.

Love Lana

I knew that was what upset her. Nothing hurts a mom more than when she feels

people are judging her parenting skills.

I've been there.

I don't think that is what I did, but maybe she took it that way.

Anyway, if you talk with her, tell her I'm sorry.
