If she has done this multiple times (5) you need to get a clue and change what YOU are doing.

The ONLY intelligent thing you have said.

You are critical of the way that others read and interpret YOUR own words yet you cannot see that I bowed out of this thread 2 days ago. Don't drop my name if you don't want my response.

Dufresne,

I apologize if anything in either of my posts is against the TOS or disrepectful to medc in any way. I don't believe so.

I will bow out. I have shared my thoughts on the matter.

What I find amazing about this site is that some people are so full of chit about their motivations. I come here with an issue and people see it as an opportunity to get MEDC...since he is so harsh on other people...let's get him.


So, I get called a liar by BA and some troll. And then JJ comes here and agrees... I may be a lot of things...but a liar is not one of them. I am not all that interested in gathering the troops on my side. I can take criticism or suggestions from people that have the best interest of my son or me at heart. What I will not stand for are loud mouths refusing to read the actual words written or being called a liar. For those that did that, you can shove that right up your miserable butts. (Oh, look...MEDC is provoking people!).

Oh, I saw you bowed out. I appreciate that...yet here you are again. I referenced you because another poster brought you up. Now you can go crawl back under your rock.

What a frad you are now being. You stated very clearly that you agreed with the trolls post. She/he called me a liar and you agreed with the post. I can't quote it since the mods removed it for harassment....which means that YOU agreed with a harassing post.

And "something don't smell right" is a statement about the honesty of my statements. OR, perhaps you need to shower.

Is it so hard to accept that someone else might see something a little bit differently?

Why is that so threatening to you?

Dismissing certain opinions isn't going to help you solve problems. Why are you so closed to differing opinions?

You cannot CONTROl everything...but there sure are some things that you can control.

That would be not interacting with the mother of your son.

You have played that multiple times. It might happen once, and then you make changes to see that it never happens again.

If it means removing yourself, that's what you do. You didn't want to remove yourself.

You wanted to continue playing it and gathering evidence. You placed your son in this position. You could have chosen to protect him, and you didn't.

The truth can be infuriating at times, can't it?

You aren't the only "straight talker" on the board ya know.

You really need to climb off that cross....someone else needs it.

No one is out to get medc. People have differing opinions.

Some people might align themselves with you regardless of how they truly feel. Do you only want "YES" people?

Surely you are man enough to handle a dissenting view on this...and to learn from it.

I could care less if you are harsh with people.

I have never been known for passing out cookies with the koolaid. cool

really??? where did I say this???

I think what was clearly said was that I hoped based on her ability to see what she had done that she would change. I made a mistake and gave her the ability to change.

As far as being closed...there have been opionions on this board and IRL that have differed from mine. I have accepted those graciously. Yours, BA's and trolls have been full of speculation and bull [censored].

well, perhaps if you had something of value to say, I would learn from it. Since you don't...

That's really a stretch medc, even by your standards.

Keep responding on this thread the way that you are. You continue to prove my point.

Again, I will bow out of this thread.

Please don't drop my name again if you don't wish for me to respond.

I hope you and the mod's will respect my request.

a stretch. It was accurate and you know it. Liar. Perhaps if you hadn't cheated on and abused your husband you would not identify so readily with my ex. Birds of a feather I guess.

Oh, wait...not factual....no matter.

and for those that respectfully responded, I appreciate you not stating your true feelings and only giving me the answers I wanted to hear. I am sure that you have nothing better to do with your valuable time than to be my "yes" men/women.

Now, return to your regular duties.


How disrespectful of you C&L to make those comments about people reaching out to help.

HuH? crazy

Nevermind...I don't have time for this foolishness. Now you are crazymakin'.

I have politely asked that you stop dragging me back into this. You are the one running off at the mouth.

I once AGAIN attempt to make a graceful exit. Zip It! Please.

I do not say that about ANYONE here.

You are really reaching medc.

I am talking "in general". Do you want yes people in your life?

You cannot make this about me...this is about YOU and YOUR poor choices.

When all else fails...and the ship is sinking....seek a diversion.

This is YOUR exact quote.

People hiding their TRUE feelings and aligning themselves with me just to be my yes men.

It can mean nothing else.

IT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.

Nothing sinking here. I think you are making my point quite nicely.

I am left to wonder why you are still posting on a thread where I clearly stated that your opinion is neither respected nor welcome. Too much time on your hands?

I usually find your posts to be quite fine. A few of the other people here I would not say that about. I really am shaking my head about your responses here. I KNOW that there are some things that should have been handled prior to now. BUT, since his mom has behaved quite well for a long time now (in as far as no physical attacks) and that he wants to see her (and the IC has agreed on a limited basis) I felt it was being handled the best way possible. I did not engage her in a personal discussion...I did my best to remove my self from it...and her attack...based on the circumstances could not be predicted.

Removing her from his life entirely in the past would have been tough on him. As I clearly stated earlier, I have a difficult time protecting me as I would others. I made the wrong assumption that she had worked out her aggression issues and will not do so again.

medc,

Deep breath....


A differing view means that you are NOT surrounded by YES people.


I did NOT say that the people here are all yes people.

There are YES people in this world.

There are NO people in this world.

If you only wanted YES people....put that in the title.

"People that can only give me agreeing support need respond"

What's up with that?

YOU are usually the person that is always giving someone else a differing opinion...on other threads.

I do that too....is the difference because it is YOUR thread?
