    I’m not exactly sure what you mean. I try to treat other people well as much as I can. Doesn’t mean I’m going to get back into contact with abusive and negletful parents that did serious long term damage and pain to me with lifetime consequences that I now have no say over.

      Oh, that’s not what I meant. I was just trying to say us being positive can hopefully help others do the same.

        Not to disagree with your general philosophy, but in this particular case amaze’s parents are already being positive because they don’t accept blame and want more contact. They won’t start treating their child better after all these years; amaze would just stress themselves out. There’s got to be some limit to how much abuse they should be expected to endure.
