I am terribly confused with all of the drama and preaching in some of the comments. When in a situation such as being described turns into high drama in the comments I shudder to think what the situation is or may become. Remaining calm in these type of situations is imperative. I have only been reading the comments some of which are scaring me as to resolving things
No longer following this thread and leave with a heavy heart for those dealing with this in the real world.
Keeping a level head is the important thing.
There is a child trapped in this adult world and it makes me very sad. Abuse hurts no matter what age.

Hello @parus
You are so right! When you spoke of the "child trapped in this adult world" I understood what you were saying. Earlier in the week I had another experience that put me back into the "child-mode" and it was helpful to be able to reach out to others and say "enough" I'm going to let someone else handle this. As I did that I got a break, the matter was taken care of by someone other than myself and I got back to my adult, safe place. Thanks for the good reminder of what these stories can do to us.

@parus We each must do what is most comfortable for us as an individual. As an autie, I feel on a deep level, and often insert myself into a situation that I am not part of, from a distance. It is like donning the cloak of the players in that I am myself but inside I am reacting to what is going on. Meanwhile on the outside it all appears "normal". I believe that the reactions you have seen from posts on here are many visceral responses to attacks we have gone through ourselves. We are trying to spare someone else from experiencing the same heartache. Hope this makes some sense.
Have a peace-filled day,
