My wife and I have carefully read each response to my posting entitled "WARNING". During many of the readings, we were both totally astonished at the ignorance and arragance as well as the sensitivity of the responses. It is absolultely astounding to me that many of you simply cannot see verbal abuse when it is staring you right in the face!
Run, don't walk, to the library or your nearest book store and read any of Patricia Evans' books on verbal abuse. It appears that many of you need enlightnment desperately.
Peter did not just disagree with me...his words were a personal attack upon my character. His words were loaded with shame and belittlement.
And the insensitivity of those who say they grew up in similar situations and overcame...well...congratulations!! Not everybody can do that. All of my life I have had to deal with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Not because of fighting some war... I left home with this condition. But, I shall stop because I sense that some will say "Oh boy, another crutch!".
I like my mother's saying best: "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."
We are all human beings, created in the image of God, and (IMO) the least we can do is to learn how to treat each other in a respectful manner.
My thanks to all that have responded...even to those who sided with Peter. I have no hard feelings and am at peace. I have decided to just forgive and forget.
Good-bye and good clarinetting to all!!
