APPROACHING SURE?
I had a drive into the country yesterday to attend a christmas lunch with people that I did not really know. I am needing to process what happened. If anyone would like to respond.

@Appleblossom I wish there were more people in the world like you ![]()
You can take up the fight for those who can't - you can make a difference for those that come after!
And whatever your coontribution and whenever you make it - you will make a difference - out of small things big things grow!!!
You know what I actually got most out of your post - it was one word RESPECT. You have respect for yourself, respect for what is right, respect for not settling with the status quo and respect for the contribution of others.
"it helps me so much to process it ... with people I know and respect" - I think that statement just summed up my last couple of months being here and maybe I just saw a little bit of light for the first time in a long time - thankyou xxxxxxxxx

Yes
RESPECT
Love the Arethra Franklin song
I think part of my problem was that it has taken a long time to figure out which people to listen to or follow or be around .. always "putting up with"
it is important to know a bit where a person is coming from when taking on board there advice or comments. In my like with so much change in school and living arrangements .. I didnt really have the ability ? or the information to put others in context ... hmmm . this a huge realisation for me ..
but I can honestly say there is so much to respect on this forum .. just people .. with their ups & downs and big & small issues .. and good and bad days.. with the capacity for honesty reflection .. humour and a whole lot more.
Need to log off .. back later.

Things have changed in the church now @Phoenix_Rising
In the past things were dealt with by the vicar, priest, pastor - whatever the name - and this was inadequate and the police had no jurisdiction
Now the vicar etc can't deal with these serious issues - there is a body in the churches set up to deal with them.
Which is much better
