I am sorry if my post offended anyone !!.
Everytime I try to post something different I get this kind of feedback !!.
And I think I repeat the same mistake again.
It was written in good spirits and maybe it is not obvious from my post, but I didn't mean it as a criticism.
And I don't see personally anything wrong in suggesting trying an alternative approach.
But every time I suggest it, people get offended.
So, I won't try to offer any suggestion.
But I do think, in addition to just giving support and saying we are sorry about the state of things, if we can think of something to make things better, even if it sounds not politcally correct, it is justified to say it. As long as the intention is not to hurt or criticize, I think we can offer different view points. And I honestly don't see why a suggestion to ask a therapist for any other alternative approach should be considered as wrong or insensitive or taken as criticizing.
But it has back fired too many times now.
And I don't want to do it anymore !!
