HI Jamie/Craig,
First I want to say is my heart goes out to you for the pain you went through.My eyes had tears in them as I read the messages you wrote.Not only your messages but all of the rest of the messages I read.
It's a shame how people are treated now and yester years.
As I too were bullied/abused by my family, mostly by my 4 brothers.I write about it one of these days as I want to say something else to you guys.
Responding to your messages..
Just because you don't get a responds, that doesn't mean the person thinks what you wrote is stupid or they don't care.
Did you ever think that the other person don't know what to say to you.I know sometimes it is hard to say something to another person that went through hell and back.
Trying to find those words to tell the person how they felt what they read,it is hard.
Most of those people don't know how or what to say to someone that went through difficult times.
Just because you don't get a responds,it doesn't mean that people don't care about you.
I myself wasn't going to respond to this message. I felt, what am I going to write to these guys that went through this.
Then I am thinking, yes I care about these guys and felt what they went through.I am miles away from you guys,I do care but how can I help you.
I am thinking what can I write to help you guys to take away the pain you went through or are going through.
Sometimes people can't find the words as what to say to help the other person.
So if you don't get a responds from the message board don't ever think no one cares what you went through.
Sometimes people want to help or say something but most don't know how.They don't know where to start.
Before closing,I am not religious..
But I want to say..
GOD BLESS EVERY ONE OF YOU GUYS. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT EVERYONE OF YOU GET THE STRENGHT TO OVER COME YOUR FEARS AND YOUR WORRIES.
Take Care
Steve
: Hi Jamie!! 
: YES!! I certainly DID read that message. [I
: read EVERY message!!]
: Don't let someone ELSE [including ME] decide
: FOR you whether or not YOU have a 'right'
: to say what you are thinking and feeling.
: If no one responds [I've learned over the
: years] so what. The point of posting a
: message is to share what WE think and how
: WE feel. We all desire to be recognized
: [and have someone TELL us that they read
: our message] but believe me - I've posted
: thousands of messages and [probably] only
: 20% [if that] have EVER been responded
: to. I was hurt at first - that nobody
: responded to most of my messages - but
: then I realized that someone SOMEWHERE is
: reading what I say and IF that someone
: benefits - somehow - it was worth the
: effort. [AND - IF the only person gaining
: anything from what I say is ME - that's
: good enough TOO!!]
: Just so you know - everytime I post a message
: [or respond TO a message] I go through the
: exact same 'who the hell wants to hear
: from ME' nonsense that YOU go through. [so
: I understand - completely - where you're
: coming from]
: Keep talking. I'm listening to everything you
: say.
: GREAT BIG HUG
: Craig!!
