This is exactly what I did. I "parked" it. I needed to fix some relationship problems. An uncle was mixed up with a nephew. The further that I got into sorting it out, the further that I saw that maybe I bit off more than I could chew. I kept getting emails to merge. It wasn't ready to merge. Then, I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer and had to have surgery on May 1. As you know a head of family cannot be deleted once it is entered. It can only be merged. So, I tried to zero it all out so that I could come back to it. I explained all this to the first person that was concerned with me not merging and breaking all the Wikitree rules. I thought I was understood. Then my account got locked and I was accused of vandelism. What I thought was me working on the Tree had turned into vandilism somehow. I am the one that started that entry of the person. Why would I vandalize what I started? Just needed help and I did not have the time at the moment. So, my decision to zero out what I had put in on this family was just to save the place for me to get back to. Then, I was unblocked and I felt that I had caused so many problems that maybe I should work on it. That was when Robin Lee came into the picture. I tried to explain what was happening. Again, I was told that I was breaking all the rules. Getting into other's trees, not merging, Basically, I became a bad wikitree person. I apoligized to her.
I just wanted to untangle a mistake.
