Thanks reisha for writing this. Was going to do the same for our staff.
They do such an amazing job for us all.
I made the mistake of reading too. Found myself really triggered and upset by things I read. Doubting myself and my story and my “consent”.
Was finding myself feeling very protective of Harmony and this beautiful place and everyone here. But I’m this case I felt it better to not saying anything and leave it to the staff. As usual they kept us safe here.
Thank you to jonesy and serenity for your hard work in doing so. All the staff here do an amazing job here. This place is here for us Bc of you and your hard work. So thank you so much.

Just wanted to pass that on.
Lotsa love from me.
Shirley

Dear reisha, Shirley, dancingfish, and anyone who reads this,

Thank you all for your support. We are a loving but strong crew at isurvive. The truth is it is you the members who really make this place safe and wonderful. We aim to keep things both safe and free for discussion. That is a careful dance isn't it?

I have often marvelled at the special balance that is found here, where people can discuss The most difficult of topics, without censorship,
And in extreme cases, are given ample opportunities , kind feedback, And explanations if their words are Offensive or out of line .
I’ve never seen another online format that manages this difficult balance so fairly.

On going, continued thanks to everyone involved in keeping this corner of the web safe,
And hoping site leadership here are able to practice their own self-care when managing such difficult interactions.

Hi Shirley, dancingfish and Couragetoday

Thanks for chiming in. We appreciate you

All,

At isurvive we try very hard to provide a safe landing place for those trying to recover from childhood trauma - which, as you know, can look very different for each of us. Occasionally a member joins who does not 'fit' as seamlessly as others, which causes ripples within our community. And sometimes, regardless of intervention on our part, isurvive isn't the right place for some people to remain a part of.
