I’m in need of some clarifications. I was under the impression that Friends and Family members were only to respond under the F&F forum and could participate on chat, but this limitation does not seem to be the case. I don’t wish to sound unwelcoming of friends and family I’m thrilled that they are here searching for understanding and answers as I am as well. I’ve gleaned valuable information by reading their accounts expressing their struggles. So, please understand I think it is good and healthy that all are welcomed. But I also know that many of us “need” a place where we are shielded from family and friends.

I know that the member section, of which I’m one, is a safe zone (I think) but the threads are far more limited. For instance as an ASA I don’t have a thread dedicated to my needs on the member sight. Plus there are thousands of men here who are not members so I’m automatically separated from them plus where do they go?

My question is which forums are open to all to respond which are not?

Each forum has a Forum De>

Thank you, Earlybird
