Too bad that this group is managed so poorly and by that I mean ignored with no moderator. That doesn't work when people are trying to talk about issues that are this hard to talk about, and there are this many people in a group with poor conflict resolution skills.
I have seen people completely ignored when they finally post about something that probably took them thirty or forty years to tell anyone. I have seen emotionally fragile people ganged up on at times, and other times bullied by one member of the group in particular. I have seen people in horrible pain begging for support totally ignored while a few members of the group will continue to chat back and forth to each other about far less important things. There is one member of the group who posts long drawn-out, and often conflicting stories about themself, and also has given incorrect medical advice to people at least twice. This individual doesn't even claim to be any kind of medical professional. There a some helpful people in the group but if they don't see your post you're SOL. There is also useful information that could be be gleaned if someone wants to just sit and read and stuff their feelings about not being allowed to participate in the discussion, but then why should any human being tolerate being treated like that? ACONs survived the abuse and got away from it once. Who wants to intentionally invite more of it?
