Pathetic. You? You're kidding me right? You are so awesome to me. Amazing, incredibe, wonderful. What you have done, are doing is hard, really, really hard. And you are doing so well.
My dear friend Tamar was right on about the scars. It's what you think that's important. Peoples judgements only serve to reveal their prejudices, fears and parts of themselves they deny. In aboriginal culture ritual scaring was used to mark rites of passage, initiation and attainment of higher standing within the tribe. So maybe in a sense they are badges of honour that show you have been truly tested and survived and are someone to be respected and reckoned with.
All I can say about on-line friendships is that the ones I have developed here have helped me enormously IRL.
You should be really proud of yourself Fairywing, really proud.
