Now that you understand the behavioral characteristics of the posters that you find toxic, you can avoid them. You might not need to avoid the entire website. I think there is much more that we can offer each other. I would be sad were you to disappear.
From where I sit, it appears to me that you are doing an extraordinary job of caring for Taylor. I was going enumerate the reasons why I feel that way, but realized that it would take too long.

- ScottHello,
Thanks again Scott. Along with others here, you have helped me a great deal, not only with medical information, but also with your support. While my family is supportive, the responsibility lies with me alone, and it's taking its toll on me, both emotionally and physically.
I hate to say it, but the information I read from the links Lou posted here have me thinking that I may be making a mistake in medicating Taylor. I came here with an open mind, so I'm looking at all information there is on this topic. Her brain is still growing and we don't know all the adverse ramifications that psychiatric medication may have concerning her future. This is not the first time I've heard it said, as my family tends to adopt a no-medication mentality. With that said, you can only imagine the guilt I feel as a parent, not only by questioning my own causality, but also suffering with every single dose of medication I give her.
When I come here and see "ihnphanticyde" right next to my name, even considering the source, I truly cannot well explain what that does to me. I never expected any of this to be easy, but it's getting more and more difficult to maintain a positive attitude.
I have a lifetime's worth of information that I had hoped would be useful to others. I just don't know if I'm strong enough right now to be a part of a group where I'm being "called a murderer", even though the rest of you have been so wonderful. I have also been a moderator on a Yahoo group for small business owners, and I can tell you right now that these inflammatory posts would have been stopped dead in their tracks.
Thank you for your help and support,
Laura
