Beenreading this board for a week or so. Janice, to an outsider, you are the bully here. I recognize you because I;m a bully, too. I think you got into this innocently enough, but once you were called on it, the hairs on your neck stood up and you went into attack mode instead of stopping to think about experience different from yours. If you could perhaps let down your defenses for a moment and REALLY think about what
Fred's experience has been, maybe you'd learn something. (I admit I'm not impartial. My Mom had ECT back in the 60's, it took her years to overcome the horror of it. Now that she's 79 she's having it every 3 weeks. At present I think (i KNOW) it's a lifesaver, but back then, and for anyone for w2hom it is or feels forced, it's a hell I doubt you can imagine. Could YOU try to be a little more compassionate? )
