Correction to my comments in the attached post.... I meant to type "cheerleader", not coach. Ugh, I didn't catch myself on that misspoken comment. It's an important one, too.
I'm fired! 😜

Debbie, thanks for the follow up reiterating "cheerleader" and the importance of understanding each person's supporting role. I see it really impacted you. How do any of us really know unless we open our minds to learn and be better. I learned through the PRC that my parents were huge pain behaviors for me even though they thought they were helping by always having sympathy. It can go either way...

- the suck it up, what's wrong with you, non-understanding or believing way

- the do it this way, know it all coaching way

- the poor baby, why can't doctors help or fix you way

Greenacres, I'm thrilled you shared that piece from the Family Day videos as your takeaway. I hope more members watch the videos and give feedback on their take aways.

Thank you both!

Thank you Rachel. This information you've shared with us is valuable! Another habit I had to break was thinking being overly sympathetc was helping.
