The following was a result of me contacting the powers that be at Daily Strength re: the demise of PWWA:
I just wanted you to tell you that the relaunch of Daily Strength has essentially destroyed a group that had taken almost 5 years to build into a cohesive and productive community.
Parents Who Walk Away offered a unique perspective to parents of estranged adult children. It offered a safe forum to share feelings and ideas while helping members rebuild their self esteem and learn to move on with their lives.
In a matter of a few short weeks, you took a thriving 450+ member support group and through either a lack of caring or sheer ineptitude, not only altered the entire format (for the worse), but allowed non-members of our group to make comments on any member post. This not only threatened the security and privacy of the members, but it also made them feel upset and very wary of revealing very personal and emotional thoughts and feelings.
Nobody comes to this site anymore - nor will they. What were you thinking? I keep the site open hoping some of our old members will log on - but nobody has even visited since 2 weeks ago. So you totally ruined a good forum that had really been helping people who were often desperate and almost always in pain.
Daily Strength used to be really great - we did such a lot of good work here and helped a LOT of people deal with their problems.
However, the days of helping them are over. I have a labrador retriever who could program and run a site better. And again I ask - WHAT were you thinking? SHAME ON YOU!
