Wolf, the answer you get may not be so straight…the ToS were changed recently, i’m not sure when, but it was definitely after my request.

Mod 80, i was never given a specific reason other than editorial decision. My problem was with the reasons for the decision. (which are still unclear to me)As Adorable said, YW stands only to lose by keeping this up. As i said in a message to the editor, i write what i write l’toeles harabim, and i think that print publications can reach a wider audience. I wrote what i wrote to help people, and i want maximum exposure. If YW cares at all about the rabim then they should take it down.

Readers here like what i write. The articles and short stories I post here usually get tremendous response and much praise. I’m not bragging, I’m just saying that it is in YW’s best interests to keep me around and posting content. As i said above, I am withholding all future content until this thread is either removed, or until I approve it’s existence. Until then I will withhold any and all content that I may have posted here. I do in fact have stuff to share with the oilem here, but no one is going to see it until I get what I want.

That may sound petulant, and you can judge me if you want, but those are my terms. So now the question remains: Your pride, or your readers’ desires. I think your readers have spoken in this thread. Listen to them.

i submitted it to them. they said that they would have used it but at the same time i submitted it to them, they had teh same bright idea i had 😛 they started interviewing kids who had been raised under bipolar parents…so they didnt need teh article. so im submitting it to other magazines.

The ToS were changed after i sent my request so im not sure whats true and whats nor and what i may or may not have agreed to. the point is not whether i have a lawsuit or not. its simple mentchlechkeit. he gains nothing by keeping it and everything by deleting it. i have a lot more content t5aht i could post here…similar to the above article. i will no longer be posting such material on this site anymore unless this thread is removed. i dont mind it being brought back when appropriate…i just want it down for a few weeks.

well see…depending on something

to put it simply…i can understand that you see yourself as well meaning by trying to rehabilitate my relationship with my mother, but i am telling you that i am not interested for various reasons. getting myself help and getting along with my mother are not one and the same.

one other thing…if this article gets printed i want my real name printed with the article. waddaya think?

its been ongoing…it wasnt even that time. i could describe exactly what the past 3 years have been like for me but that would probably open a whole can of worms.

im not basint by decision not to even look at her on that one incident. trust me shes done plenty to justify my continuing silence.

nah…trust me its not worth teh agmas nefesh on my part to be on speaking terms with her. sometimes you just have to sever ties. im sick of teh roller coaster ride, id rather be a casual onlooker.

i can tell myself that its the “shaid” and move on…but it doesnt quite work like that. there are things that should never be said and never be done. basic things that should be hard wired into the consciousness of every human being regardless of teh state of that human being’s mind. i refuse to believe that what she said was involuntary, and if there was even a shred of coherence behind those statements and actions then i feel justified in writing her off permanently.

alzheimers is a different story because that is put off as the decline of old age. its never been stigmatized. up until teh 1970’s mental patients and those with downs syndrome were STILL being locked up in attics and institutions. some people still do that. i forget which magazine recently had a feature on teh Willowbrook State School, bu tthe conditions described there were common practice for such institutions. once willowbrook was exposed, peopel were shamed into taking charge, but the attitude has changed little.

i have so much more to write about the subject…about my experiences with teh mental health system in general…about the process involved in dealing with a patient…how to cope…i could write a book on teh subject. ideally i would write a series in one of teh prominent jewish magazines like Mishpacha, Ami, or Zman. in fact, i submitted this article to Mishpacha yesterday. i really hope they accept it. there is so much wrong with the entire system it boggles the mind.

im sorry…wut

no but my point was that one needs the other…i mean the conservative party would have completely skipped healthcare reform if not for the whole liberal to-do over the issue…and we see that happen a lot. the libs often bring to light issues that DO NEED reform which the conservatives missed…once the debate is started each side comes up with its own solutions respectively…butliekyea
