I've wondered why MT's writing style triggers so many people. Myself included. Here are my thoughts: we are all here because we're dealing with a terrible terrible family disease that thrives on denial. We are all to one degree or another trying to recover from this disease and face our own lives with courage and honesty. It's hard but important because either literally, or emotionally and spiritually, our very survival depends on it. To me, MT's words obfuscate. And obfuscation -- not the writing style, but the approach to this problem -- feels dangerous for me right now.
By contrast, I am humbled, instructed, and inspired by the honesty I've seen on this board and in al anon. I am guided by it right now and will focus on that. Hope this makes some sense to someone triggered. It helped me sort it out to write it at least.
