Xena, you know I'm a neutral party. We can agree on that, I'm sure.
But you're wrong this time.
"If that's what you think, then my credibility in your eyes has already been undone.
I won't waste my time on you bc any parenting advice I offer will be falling on deaf ears.
Good luck with that."
You're lashing out (however dispassionately.. I know that's an emotive turn of phrase, but I'm sure you can read my meaning without prescribing too much literal value). And I think you're "lashing out" because you've grown accustomed to being met with negativity.
I think so many of your interactions on this forum have been tainted by conflict that you're distorting the rest. I think you're preempting problems before they exist. I think you're exaggerating problems as they appear.
