I have bit the bullet and notified D/S that I am closing Parents Who Walk Away on their site. The following is the email I wrote them this evening -
BTW - If anyone is hooked into PEACE - you might want to let folks over there know -
Here's what I wrote:
"After 5 great years, it is time to close our group - Parents Who Walk Away. I would like instruction regarding how to shut it down.
I am sorry to tell you that this is no longer a productive group - It is helping no one because no one is coming here anymore.
To make matters worse, I have noticed that many of my comments have been deleted and other members have advised me that my private messages to them have actually been scrambled - indicating yet another in a series of increasingly outrageous privacy violations.
Also, you have still not provided capability to contact all of the members of our group in one message. Making it impossible to let people know what is going on.
So, until you delete the announcement that PWWA will be closing, I will be posting that message. This site has gone from being a saving grace for those who desperately needed help - to a one that allows people to be monitored by non-members of our group, comments to be deleted and pms to be manipulated. So basically, you have created the same unsafe and unhealthy environment that we have sought to get away from by walking away from our horrible estranged adult children.
I am very disappointed and disgusted - Initially, I tried to hang in there with the new format and like a fool, did not give my people a heads up ahead of time (like the members of the PEACE group had) so they did not have a chance to get onto another site. Instead, I told everyone to have faith in the new format and so allowed the group to be totally disrupted before I realized I needed to try and get them together on another site - You blocked me every time by deleting my comments - or allowing non-members to delete the comments - who knows what happened? - Now we have NO group here - and we have people who are hurting with no place to go for help.
DS was really great once upon a time - everybody loved it - now nobody wants to be here anymore - How sad is that?

On the D/S Site, I wrote:
"After 5 great years, we are closing Parents Who Walk Away on Daily Strength. Thank you to all members who have participated over the years. It was great getting to know you. I hope this site helped you as much as it helped me. Sincerely, T.K - aka topiarystepmom"
