Very well-said! Also, *hugs tightly*. I'm sorry for what happened to you. Those people were just terrible.

I know we don't know each other very well, but I want to give you some love. Because I'm mentally ill, too. And there are scars on my body from it. And I wish I could squeeze your hand, and I know this was a courageous and wonderful thing to write, while also terribly painful.

I know at least two mentally ill young men over the internet, one of them all the way over in Europe, another of whom I regularly chat with. Both friendships had their scary patches--one showed extreme hostility to me on a fandom forum while the other would talk about raping and beating my character. And yet they both turned out to be big teddy bears once they dropped the asshole act and came to trust me enough to confide in me. The guy who wanted to rape my character actually came out as a gay man and has been an absolute gentleman since, though he has his dickish moments that I make sure to call him out on and which he always admits he was wrong about ( ... )

I love you.

Do you have time to meet this weekend or next, so I can buy you lunch or something?

Sure! Do you have my email? (Sorry about the account; LJ has still locked me out from this one.

Noooo ... what is it?

Mine is troy dot a dot parker at the g mail dot com.

Not that this would stop spammers from getting my address. I already get far too many ads for helping me increase my bust size, or for making my labia look tidier. Oddly, my co-worker (female) gets all the spam for penis enlargements.

I tried to email that and you didn't answer, so I don't trust it. Mine is my username at hotmail dot com, or my first name, middle initial, last name (no spaces) at live dot ca. I may be in Toronto on Wednesday for a support meeting; I could meet you somewhere after 2 or 3.

I wish I could do more to help. It's hard when we've only known each other on LJ-land!
