My mind went into 'pause' after reading your post.
Some of the experiences you had hit a little close to home.
Not for me so much as for my sister.
I've been dealing with her issues for many years and have had to watch her suffer through so much.
My sister has had to live most of her life within the boundries of Multiple Personality Disorder.
So naturally, when you wrote your post in the third person, it spoke volumes to me as she too speaks of herself in that fashion from time to time. Pain is pain, no matter what form it ultimately uses to express itself.
By the way, she is one of my most favorite people in the world.
As you can clearly see, people here think no less of you.
Actually, it appears that many have acquired an even greater respect and affection for you since reading your 'post'.
I believe that you have taken a very important step toward reassembling a more comfortable life for yourself.
And as for the issue of sexual orientation - well, I think that Underdog covered it well and I applaude her comments.
