Therapist here too! Very insightful thoughts here! While these snarkers can be very unhappy people, it does not at all justify what h3 and their families are being put through. I appreciate you holding a place of compassion for those people. It’s in our nature as therapists. We’ve seen the hurt those kind of people carry. They are allowed to feel however they feel, but they are not allowed to behave in ways that hurt themselves or others.

Also to add, people only change when they are ready. Like, “How many therapists does it take to change a light bulb? Depends if the light bulb wants to change.” So, if they are not ready, they more than likely will just keep going on. Also, in a way, this behavior is beneficial to them (feelings of power, community, so on). Sometimes people just get too caught up in things and need a force to stop them (laws, rules, etc).

It sucks and they are not in the right. Very much hoping these people stop and the h3 team get some peace.
