And yet another PSA.

Being a listening ear = fine. More than fine, perfectly okay, understandable, and really in high demand right now. For the record,

catchild could really use a lot of this right now.

Talking with us = fine. Again, perfectly okay, understandable, and all that.

Making a value judgement based off of only partial information = not fine.

We. Do. Not. Need. Anyone. Else. Involved. In. This. Mess.

Yeah, the time of the year for it was crappy. You don't live here = you don't have a clue what the alternative would have been. Especially if you didn't bother to talk to all of us.

So, how many friends do I loose because of this? Hmm? How many of you are going to blame the three of us for leaving? How many more of you think that we're scum for leaving?

Okay, I'm angry enough right now that I need to back off of this before I start screaming at friends that really don't deserve it.

Just, please try not to take sides in this, 'kay? There are no 'sides' to take. None of us out here are asking you to choose between us.

And this hurt enough before I ran into the rant directed at myself and

warinbear on my f-list this morning.

for the record if it's the same rant i saw it upset me too. after all it's not like i am blameless in this either.

Oh gods, hon. That's... just... *HUGS*

I've been through a similar situation myself, when I left Texas earlier this year. Everyone involved hurts, there's no one to "blame" ... and unfortunately, the average human being wants to be able to place blame on somebody. *sighs* I'm just sorry you have to deal with human stupidity at a time like this.

FWIW, if it hasn't been clear already... I hope everything works out for the best, for all of you. *hugs*

We've actually cried over all of you being hurt. The whole situation is very close to our own worst nightmares.

We are old, and we shed very few tears. Feeling real sorrow of such depth and intensity is rather rare. One supposes that we offer up the gift of our tears to the Powers, on your behalves.

We will continue to pray to our Various Odd Gods that things work out for the best for all of you.

*hugs* Prayers and good thoughts for one and all continuing.

*hugs* I hope it all turns out for the best. As I said to catchild, I've seen this sort of thing happen too many times to have any emotion other than sympathy for all concerned.

I am just praying -- on ALL of your behalves (behalfs? Weird word...) -- that this gets sorted out with a minimum of conflict and hassle. SO not interested in placing blame; BTDT, and I know that (with rare exceptions) it's never all one party's fault.

I know I don't know enough to say anything and honestly I don't feel its my place. I will offer hugs, I will listen, and I offer other bits of help as I can provide (let me know if you need anything). I feel for all of you and agree that you don't need externals causing more drama/stress/crap. *hugs*

As I posted on

catchild's journal, I wish for the least hurtful outcome for all involved.

Not choosing sides here. Just so, so sorry that any of you have to go through this. Growth and change is a bitch.
