Not only that what if your bdaughter should ever read this. I doubt she will be too happy.

I find it strange that you find it offensive. Her posts show insight and as you have already admitted, you haven't experienced strained relations within the afamily. Others have, so why not regard the post as insight?

I think that Scorpio66 is an amazing woman and incredible mother and I have been in touch privately with her and I am overcome and encouraged with my own situation, with the amount of strength she has infused into her daughter and put into her relationship with her. Please don't be so quick to shoot from the hip as offensive when it seems to me that you possibly haven't really followed what she has been through. Neither have you possibly been through the trauma that her reunion has brought (as it has me too). She is one amazing woman and deserves all the support she can get.

Scorp - I just wanted to send you my support. Rock on girlfriend.

Also - as I read your original post. I did not find it offensive. I think the unfortunate thing about the internet and ability to read others' written thoughts is they are not always interpreted as originally meant. Anyone can take offense in any message. I think if your daughter read your original post, she would not be offended because she knows the love in your life.

Best wishes to you!!!!

Jannyroo,
You're quoting another poster and addressing me with their post. As per my post, and I have expressed this to the OP, I take no offense to her situation, and have wished her and her bdaughter well. In fact, I personally have had experiences more than what one would deem strained with afamily, ironic? I do however stand by my offense to OP's choice of wording ex. dumping.
Regards
Rose

Wording a post with such phrases as " I feel like he is dumping his problems on me" with regards to your bdaughter sends a pretty strong message. Rose

and I was referring to my being surprised at both of you taking offense. You took offense at one thing, the other took another angle. Whatever. It still left me surprised. If you changed tack later, you didn't express it on this thread. I was responding to the post you made as quoted above.
