To quote Shawshank Redemption ”Andy crawled through 500 yards of shit smelling foulness I can’t even imagine! Or maybe I just don’t want to…” I’m not stupid enough to think I’ve had the hardest life compared to anyone else. Especially among the SP community. My life has been one hell of a roller coaster. From being molested at an early age, to being lied to about who my father was for years. To being stood up by my real father and never hearing from him again. Physically and emotionally abused by my step father for years. In and out of hospitals most of my life for Endocrine/Pituitary deficiency issues etc. My mother and brother have both done time in a mental hospital. And yet because I haven’t acted outwardly and done time in one, they and the rest of the family have come to this conclusion that I was spared of this ”gene”? Are people really that naive to believe because you don’t ”act out” or outwardly that you can’t suffer from mental illness?

That sounds horrible. 🙁
Has your stepfather ever gotten in trouble for what he did?
I wish um… people could be more empathetic… kind and able to read other people’s thoughts and feelings…
Since most people can’t, I guess they can’t really read you if you keep what you’re really feeling inside…
I have the same problem… I can’t really find myself opening it up to people who I can’t trust or don’t know, that might hurt me or be too different to really understand and stuff…
It’s really easy to be myself on the internet though…
