Prayers Please

I don't know Wenchy, but I think a lot of folks on here do, and I don't get that she would post something like without the person's permission or actual request. I get your concern, but we're all adults here and I trust Wenchy and RR know what they are doing.

Now, I'd assume not turn this well-intentioned thread into a pissing battle.

I'm quite done in this thread. I know why I posted what I posted. I certainly do not want to argue in here. And yes, I too trust that Wenchy knows what she is doing.

I personally think that his name and address should be publicly removed. A simple if anyone would like to send good wishes via mail may pm me for the info would be much more appropriate. JMHO.

SG unless you have been in someones shoes don't assume to know how they feel. If RR is going through what I think he is, I have been there. The last thing I was worried about was what other people thought of me. I needed all the support of the people I considered real friends. I would have welcomed the pouring out of well wishing and prayers. Others who would do anything other than assist or wish well held no sway, and still hold no sway to how I feel, or what I think. Other than what I think of them.

RR. Get the help you need. Get better. Find what works.

Yes, it is safe to say that many people on these boards has gone through what he is currently going through. So anyone with personal messages of encouragement and hope can be powerful in the healing process. With that said I believe that some things shared when people are in a crucial time in their lives can possibly do harm though. Well wishes and prayers are great but there will always be the ones that judge, assume and make immature comments and show disrespectful behavior. One negative comment can quickly erase the feeling you got from ten good ones.

Anonymity has it's advantages in so many places in life for a reason. It is why so many of us are able to freely express how we feel not only here but in other places as well.

An important part of any healing process... is the feeling of value... or self worth....

I know that when I was in the hospital, and hubby started a thread on this same forum... I felt loved. When all of you started to respond, I felt value.... self worth.... I am sure it helped with the healing process.

I'm quite sure all those who are close to him are going through some trials right now as well. It's hard to have a friend or family or partner that is in a position where they have to take time out and heal the body, heart, or soul in order to continue on with life. There's a hole in their life right now as well. They need our prayers as well.

My heart goes out to all those involved and I really wish all the nay-sayer's would just hold their criticism for another topic... I don't mean to be calling anyone mean... just mean to put it in a bigger perspective... know what I mean?

I didn't think my post in anyway suggested that someone had already acted inappropriately as much as I was posting about the potential. I stand by my opinion in regards to listing his name and address, not the intent of those wanting send well wishes, encouragement and support.

Due to the sensitivity of anyone's personal or physical issues I personally believe that ones privacy should be protected at all cost. You chose to be very open and proactive about your personal situation from the very beginning. Your courage and the way you have handled your challenges, I find inspiring. However; if I were in the same situation or even another one altogether I cannot say how I would handle or approach it. That being said I personally would want my privacy protected by anyone who may know me in person or on the internet. I would want to be the one to share my circumstances and not someone else without my permission.

For the most part I feel that most active forum participant's know where the line in the sand is regarding crossing from playing around to potentially causing additional harm, but there are always a few in every bunch that will not and it is that person who has the potential to take something that was meant as a beautiful intention filled with love and concern and turn it into a nightmare.

In using a hypothetical situation being that we are largely in an military/ government town where people must meet or exceed extreme personal and financial scrutiny to obtain and hold their work clearances this type of information could cause major ramifications as just by typing one's full name in the computer browser would bring your name. I would not want a situation that happened to me ten years ago be right there at a click of that button to affect my future.

Wenchy, I'm not quoting that post because I sincerely hope that you delete it. I really do not think that you should post anymore of his personal business. I'm not trying to be a bitch, but I think that you've gone a bit overboard here. While he may have given you the okay to post WAY too much of his personal business, he's probably in a fragile frame of mind right now.

Why would I delete this?

A personal letter when some can not get email (or get a phone call...because they can't) means so much.

You are being a bitch. You know I love you and and also know what I need means the most to him.

This is the only way. Write him send it , and it may take weeks before he gets the letters.

Hope House has him with no communication online. He might get letters weeks later.

Please understand.

He knows what I know about him.

Write him an old fashioned letter.

He will never be mad at me.

For the life of me, I do not get that some members here are negative to Wenchy for her posts of RR's info. If it was a problem, vrai, or RR himself would have stepped in to stop it. So, I am totally confident that what has been posted by her is true and right. Instead of being critical, maybe some of you should channel your energy in a different direction; try sending positive vibes RR's way. Always remember to count your blessings. I believe that the internet, and for example, forums will be the downfall of the goodness in human character because you do not have to be accountable face to face for what you say. It is advised here a lot by some to use the red X in the right hand corner, and walk away, but I think the wrong people are using that option, and we are losing the right ones that should have stayed.

Couldn't this be done by PM instead of blasting it out to the world? And why would people need to know which rehab he's in in order to pray for him?

I thought this was supposed to be about him? How does what you need matter?

That is your problem; you don't think/see past your own gopher/beaver nose, and think you know everything, and have all the answers. Not to mention, you are not very nice. What is your avatar, exactly, anyway?
