This is likely my last thread here. I apologize for all the trouble I’ve caused. I came looking for insight, and I have received it, though much of it was difficult to hear. Again, I apologize for any problems I’ve caused in this forum.
 
I don’t believe you’ve caused problems. You came for help, which is (in some respects) what the site is for, and you received responses from many, including those who are always bothered by anything and everything. The problem is theirs. You, at least, seemed to have sincerity about seeking help. God bless.
 
I am sorry if you have encountered people who were more concerned of being right even if it was only their preferred opinion and thus might sound harsh to you. CAF, like most forums, is made of people from all walks of life though the majority may be Catholics.

I hope you may continue to bring up issues for insight, as you called it. It can beneficial not just for you but also for those who have similar issues.

Life is tough, we get tossed around and scrape out knees many times in life. Just look at He who hangs on a cross above every altar in the Catholic Church. He stayed the course, I invite you to do the same. Hope you will.

I have to admit, I found your comments on parenting to be really bizarre, even considered it to be trolling.

But so what? What’s the worst that can happen by asking questions on a forum? I don’t think anyone lost any sleep over it. If anything, I think it’s great that you gained some insight.

It’s your choice of course but remember, we’re all sinners, we all make mistakes and there people here a mile long that will pray for you if you ever needed it. It would be great if you stayed.

Your posts didn’t bother me really. Where are you from, US? Your posts reminded me of a Romanian family I knew. @Bananas

God bless, I pray you can use the insight received.
 
You did not cause any problems. I hope you and your husband follow through with seeking some help with your parenting skills so your family can be happy and healthy.

There are many people who have been coming here for years, even though some of us lost that date stamp when CAF changed formats. I am sure, if you could see how THEY have changed, it would speak to the understanding that many of us have about how all of this works.

There is no way you could find a member here that has NOT been annoying from time to time. We all have our crosses and sometimes things like pride get in our way even here. That is the cross that usually sticks out here, or a lack of humility. No one can say they have all these things mastered.

If you give it a chance, even as a “lurker” you will find yourself growing in spite of yourself. Unless you are openly abusive, and consistently ill-behaved, etc, you are welcome here. This is a wonderful place to learn about your faith, to find resources, to find the answers to questions that you have not even thought of yet.

After a while, you start seeing some of the same questions and threads coming up again, but even then, a new perspective might jump out at you. As you grow in holiness, you will find yourself offering advice when it used to be you were seeking it. For some of us, this has become a ministry of sorts, even if that only involves praying of others who need or ask for it.

So I hope you will continue that part of your journey with us that brought you here in the first place.

You didn’t cause problems. If you did, then I did as much as you. (anti) Social Media makes it horrible to get a point across. It’s terrible as people lose their charity and compassion as they type black letters on a white screen.

I got slammed too. I am very disappointed with this forum and withdrew my financial support because of it.
 
@Legend, @kptrs, Friends, it’s best not to speculate openly in a thread about someone’s motives for posting or whether they have a mental illness.
 
Amen! Also, it’s off topic and this thread was begun by someone else for a different reason.

Many have called Bananas a troll. I really don’t think she is. I have known people like her in real life, and I truly believe everything she’s posted is true. If she happens to post again, I would personally discourage any comments about trolling. She needs help, and while what she needs may be beyond the scope of CAF, calling her a troll will solve nothing. It is also unkind.

The purpose of my comments was to throw that idea out there. I think it’s important.
 
I don’t think she’s trolling either, but I don’t really know what to make of her. She seems to invent BS catastrophes in order to justify robbing her children of anything that give them joy, independence, or a sense of accomplishment. You’d think she was a narcissist, but they usually know exactly what they are doing and will never admit what they have done to others, even if they are caught red-handed. Bananas seems to be genuinely confused about how her behavior hurts her family. I almost wonder if she wasn’t raised by an narcissist and just never realized that those behaviors aren’t normal? Who knows? But I really don’t think she’s trolling.
