Default Laura...

Thank you for being reasonable...

when you read that thread, which I have done it's full of very one-sided conversations and accusations.

I personally have met Suzy, spent time with her over an extended period of time. She has never stolen anythign from me...drugs or otherwise. She has in fact been incredibly generous and honest.

We have had long conversation over this issue and all I can say is the otucome of that event is a producto f it's nature. Any time you involve drugs... it's has an overwhelming chance of going south. In regards to not defending herself... If I where involved at the same level as Suzy, given the same health consideration and emotional/mental stability I wouldn't have tried to defend myself either. The bull-dog defense metnality on this board can be a bit overwhelming ot a person that is completely heathly...imagine how it woudl appear to someone ill?

As for coming back as "janie"... not sure I woudl have come back at all... but if you are sick and in need of support and run the risk of being black-balled by other members of the board... I might have done that. I do appreciate the hoensty on her behalf that when she and I started to Pm each other, she immediately revealed who she was, what had happned in the past and why she made the choice to go incognito.... I read the issue and made my own detrimination about where I wnated to continue a friendship with her. After all things considered and a personal meeting... I'm very glad I did and find Suzy to be a huge help in my life.

I also think it was very mature and honest of her to PM Donna provately and not drag all this garbage on to a public forum when she was finally in a place health and mental wise to deal with the accusations. She didn't blast Donna on the board, she didn't drag the contraversial issue out for public resolution. She quietly told the few friends on the board the truth about who she was, her part in what had transpired with Donna and then privately posted to Donna.

If Suzy is guilty of anything it's participating in drug exchanges and such other activities... no story is ever as one-sided as it was presented by Donna in her original post. Not saying Suzy is 100% blameless but it takes two in any relationship/interaction for things to go wrong or right..... I"m sure that to Donna her perception of the events are accurate but I'm view on experience and I've had plenty of that over the years in regards to these types of situation.



As to Cinderbelle...

It might be time and energy better spent focused on helping your friend Donna heal and less time dregging up hurts and accusations.


To the other two ladies that posted....

I agree 100% about your comments in regards to sharing prescriptions. A doctor gives a specific prescription to specific people, sharing is not only illegal but dangerous.... Keep that in mind folks.

Now once again I will express my hope that this issue can be put to bed and those that have issues will continue them off board....where they belong. By all means... those that have issues with Janie/Suzy use your ignore button it's a wonderful and fuctional feature of this board!
