I think to omit posts because they might not be great for beginners (or someone in an abusive relationship, for instance) would be a disservice to others. I don't think "Today's Gift" is conference-approved literature (Al-Anon) and I know Melody Beattie isn't, but we aren't an Al-Anon group. And not everything in conference-approved literature is appropriate, IMO, for someone living with abuse. That doesn't mean it doesn't have value; just that it's important to note there are situations where conventional wisdom can be not-so-wise for a particular individual.

I'd say you should just keep posting them as is, and to the extent you or anyone else here has a different perspective on a particular entry, we are free to comment on it, as I did with this one. I'll admit I don't read these threads every day--I don't even always read the Hazelden daily post I have emailed to me. But we have lots of eyes around here and I wouldn't delete posts just because it's not applicable to everyone.
