hi everyone. i am really a passive observer of this site, i wasn't in any brainwash program like straight, but i was involved in a three year relationship with someone who was and so witnessed the effects first hand that these programs have had on people. unfortunately our relationship dissolved before we could work through all the past baggage we both carried around, but have maintained a friendship and started trying to heal. Now i have a better understanding of a lot of the problems we had together, they were not her fault and had everything to do with straight. i know that finding this site has been overwhelming for her but also a relief, a breath of fresh air after years of thinking she was alone. thanks to all who are involved with this site, and keep helping each other. not only does it help the survivors, but also the people who love them. :tup:
