Hairdog,

You can be very funny, and I typically enjoy your humor. In fact, one of the things that I find really sad is that your "frat" sense of humor has given way to angry, cynical humor.

In case you didn't realize, when I write posts here about my experience, I am opening up about my life, just as you are. And I don't always feel comfortable doing it, but I do it anyway because it helps me step out of my comfort zone. I compose MANY posts that I erase and never actually submit. And the ones that do get submitted often take me an inordinate amount to time to compose. I know that I am more sensitive than the average person, so it's even tougher for me that I am in the minority here. I represent the LD woman, the person that many seem to love to hate. Or hate to love. Or something. And not only that, I've done what you wish your wife would. You wrote last year that it was depressing to read about my progress because you wish your wife would get a clue too (paraphrasing here).

Sometimes I'm just not sure that this board can support HD folk who need to vent and LD folk who are finding their way.
