It's time, I want to do it while I'm still in a relatively good place. I hope you'll still answer though. I don't need it like I used to, but I'd still be disappointed if you didn't.

No amount of blaming me will make your words my fault. Interesting that a mental health professional, and one of the most devoted fans of "personal responsibility" philosophy, misuses it to hurt people and then blame her victims. We've all been provoked, that's proof that this philosophy doesn't work.

You need to learn the difference between expressing a different opinion respectfully, and "attacking." Had I not gone out of my way to be tactful, you'd have a point. You're teaching your child with a disability to play the victim if you think what I said was an "attack." I've actually been attacked and degraded by those who claimed to know better, grow up.
