Nice to meet you. I know your mother quite well and know her to be a caring and loving person.
I am curious. What do you hope to accomplish by following your mom onto a message board that is sympathetic to her position and openly criticizing her? Do you feel this will endear you to her? Do you think this will help to resolve the currently existing tensions in your relationship?
Any enlightenment would be appreciated. I hope you will care enough to take your issues directly to your mom in the future and not air them to her peers. As with all things in the world, shaming is a poor motivator for change.
I agree. I've known Dianne for a while now, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. It breaks my heart to hear that there is a rift in her family, but then that is pretty typical for people in her (and our) situation. I learned a long time ago that an online forum is not the place to air private family grievances, and I'm hoping that Ryan's having deleted his post means that maybe he's beginning to learn this. I hope the two of you can heal the division and find love and peace in your family.
Ryan, I wonder are you in the ward of the good Bishop Daniel C. Peterson? You and he have something in common!
Get to know him.

Trinity and everyone else,
First of all I want to openly apologize for my post in this forum, it was immature and uncalled for. It is the type of thing that someone only does when anger clouds their thinking. This is not the place to address personal issues.
I completely agree with what you've said, shaming is a poor motivator for change. No, I did not think this would endear me to my mother. No, I never thought it would resolve the current tensions in our relationship. The only purpose for my post besides venting was it seemed the only way my mother would take me seriously and actually listen to me rather than blow me off. Once again, I apologize openly to my mother and to everyone else for my previous post. I wish everyone the best of luck in your endeavors, and the greatest joy you can find.

I hope you are able to find a neutral place of peace with each other. I also wish you the greatest joy you can find...the real kind, the kind that smells like a baby's neck after a bath, or outside after a fresh rain; the kind that is found with true love's kiss...the kind of joy that is found when you realize that you are acceptable and OK just as you are, flaws and all. The kind of joy you find when you realize you're fully free to accept and embrace the people around you just as they are.

Thank you Ryan for being a man and owning up to the shame you placed at your own mother's feet.
Can someone go get Daniel the pussy and show him how this young man just owned him?
