In my husband's words (both in this case and five years ago when I lived a similar story with a friend/business partner that led to me leaving my own nonprofit), "This is ridiculous and stupid." Things don't escalate to this point when someone makes real attempts at apology and repair. I had to peace-out of the community because all this came right at the same time as my own trauma anniversary, but I do hope TNE makes it past this faithfully and are able to live up to their own expectations for integrity and leadership accountability. And I hope RV is able to heal, with or without closure.

Anyway, thank you for this. It is healing to see someone be able to hold the tension and acknowledge it's there.

I don't have (m)any thoughts on this controversy -- and I know this wasn't the point of your post -- but when I read that some commenters have said that they hoped your children would get kidnapped, I felt like I was going to throw up. I'm so sorry you've experienced that. And I'm so glad you've taken measures to protect yourself and your family (and I'm so grateful that you've shared how I can take similar steps, too).
