WIY, WOAH!!!! Once again you have stepped over the line and once again you need to use the “EDIT” key or not necessarily use the “send post” button after you have vented your thoughts. Not everything you are thinking needs to be written or sent. You are very young and you need to “filter” your thoughts because many of them are hurtful whether you mean them to be or not. And whether or not you are anonymous or not does not give you the right to say them!
No you don’t know Eclipse and you certainly don’t know her situation. So it can’t possibly be “clear” to you that she has a guilty conscience and if it is then YOU are the one who does not see clearly or read clearly. Because you are way too young to understand or decipher what her situation is. You have a lot yet to learn about many things and although you are well versed in Torah and in picking and choosing articles to post here, you are not versed in being a parent, or being a parent of a teen who is in pain. And you have no right to assume she needs to apologize and change and you have no right to say that to her or anyone else. You are not a qualified therapist, YOU are a kid and in no position to advise an adult in such a position. So if you have nothing nice to say, maybe the rule of thumb you should be using is to not say anything, I am sure your mother taught you that at some point in time. And I am sure you could find some good vort that would cover that as well. It is not necessary to post on all threads, so maybe you should choose your threads more carefully.
If I sound upset, I am. Because YOU have no clue what a mother in pain feels like. You can’t possibly know until you will eventually be a parent. So to say that you are way too presumptuous is a huge understatement. And I don’t just speak for Eclipse, I speak for at least 100 parents that I have worked with over the years. And since YOU don’t take things personally, I guess I don’t have to apologize for hurting your feelings.
