Ok ill admit the cr means a great deal to me, growing up in my fathers house my opinion was meaningless every thing i would try to contribute to a conversation was met with derision i had low self esteem for much of my life, then i found therapy and i learned over time that i do have some value, that things i say may be funny or interesting, after years of therapy i felt like a great weight had been lifted off of me and i could express myself without fear of reprisal or condemnation.
Do i overpost and spend too much time here yes, but its very meaningful for me to get feedback on things i have to say. To have something u say be meaningful to someone else is a great reward but i feel the cr is in a way a family are we a perfect family ? no, do we fight sometimes? yes but i think we choose to stay here because of one another and how the impact of a kind word can lift up your whole day.
