are you sure it's a new message and not an old one?
If you're sure it's new... is this her contacting him, and could he have prevented it? Might it be a one-side action he doesn't agree with?

YOu have to really admire this responce. This is "support" at it's grandest.

I have to admit that I didn't know all of K's story when I posted it, like you obviously do, or I would not have asked those questions.

I saw an urgent cry for help and I wanted to make 100% sure this lady wouldn't make a wrong decision. Remember the gambler that went "sober"? One day he got stuck in traffic, was delayed for 1,5 hour, couldn't reach his wife - by the time he got home his things were packed and his was thrown out. Because she was SURE he was out gambling again.

So I wanted to make sure.. she was sure. And she was. If you have read my posts to her after that, you might have noticed the difference in what I said or advised.

Maybe you think that it's wrong to post to someone you don't know? That it's wrong to ask questions that will make the other person's situation more clear?

If you do, then please let me know.

Yes, I am guilty of firing off a poat before reading the whole thread. Although, ofcourse you meant well, I just thought it was very "ironic" that EVERYONE here knew that this outcome was inevitable, and yet the first post on the thread when this comes to revealtion was that "it might not be new". I was just kind of chuckling at that, becasue it would be what I expect. I apologize for offending you. I do not know why you are asking me what is "right" or "wrong" here, as your post was fine. I just found it ironic. I'll apologogize again as I didn't mean to make you feel bad. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Thanks for replying Lemonman.
What I understood from your post is that you ridiculed my way of supporting, not that you thought it was something you would chuckle at.
That's why yes, I did feel offended.
Perhaps we both misunderstood.
Anyways - apologies accepted.
